British Napoleonic Ship-of-the-line by Angus Konstam, ill., Tony Bryan, --The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy, and naval tactics were evolving. The British Royal Navy emerged triumphant as the leading world sea power, and the epitome of Britannic naval strength was the Ship-of-the-Line. These 'wooden walls' were more than merely floating gun batteries: they contained a crew of up to 800 men, and often had to remain at sea for extended periods. This book offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the largest man-made structures produced in the pre-Industrial era., Page count 48., P, Size 7.3X9.8, Book Number B01151.

Privateers and Pirates 1730-1830 by Angus Konstam, illus.Angus McBride, --Following the pirate scourge of the early 18th century, sea captains took to privateering as a means of making money. A form of nationally sponsored piracy, it reached its peak during the American Revolution, when the fledgling American navy had to rely on privateers to disrupt British shipping between England and the rebellious colonies. Following peace in 1815, many former privateers turned to piracy, spawning the last great piratical wave, which would last for a decade. The world of these privateers and latter-day pirates comes vividly to life in this detailed exploration of their ships, crews, ports and battle tactics. Elite 67, 69 and 74 are also available in a single volume special edition as `Pirates'., Page count 64., P, Size 7.3X9.8, Book Number B01149. List price $16.95, your price $14.40 Go to top. American Heavy Frigates 1794-1826 by Mark Lardas, --By 1805 the 44-gun frigate was probably viewed as a failed experiment. Ten years later every navy was building 44-gun frigates and today it is viewed as the symbol of the Napoleonic-era cruiser. This remarkable transformation resulted from the performance of three ships - the Constitution, United States, and President--44 gun frigates built for the United States Navy between 1794 and 1799. Their victories in the naval War of 1812, as well as their success against the Barbary Pirates, caught the imagination of the world. This book examines the construction of the American heavy frigates and outlines the factors that spurred all navies into re-examing this class.--1-84176-630-5 Osprey, 7.3X9.8 inches, pages 48.

Bryan, --The Confederate States adopted radical solutions to counter the naval superiority of their opponents. One of the more successful solutions they adopted was the us e of commerce raiders. This book describes the reasons which forced the Confederates to resort to commerce raiding, and outlines the way in which these craft were converted or specially built to perform their role.
