HMS Victory Manual by Peter Goodwin (9780857330857)

Description - HMS Victory Manual by Peter Goodwin

Using the tried and tested formula HMS Victory, now
available in the Haynes manual format, is probably the
most famous surviving historic warship in the world
today. She was flagship to Admiral Lord Nelson at the
Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, when he was killed on her
quarter deck by a sniper's bullet in Britain's hour of
victory. Maritime historian and former HMS Victory Keeper
and Curator Peter Goodwin tells the story of Nelson's
flagship, giving fascinating insights into how she was
built, her anatomy and weaponry, and how a ship of the
line in the Georgian navy was sailed, fought and
maintained.
