Description
The fictional exploits of sailors in the Royal Navy have thrilled readers around the world.
But to many, the 'real world' of Nelson's Navy has remained a mystery until now.
Whether looking for a recipe for 'spotted dog' or the method for reefing the main topgallant, Nelson enthusiasts will find it in this extraordinary compendium.
Every aspect of the Royal Navy is covered - the workings of the admiralty, the designs and building of ships, life on board, food and drink, discipline, seamanship, merchant fleets, and opposing navies - all are explained in succinct texts and illustrated with specially commissioned sketches, maps, and diagrams.
