BRITISH CRUISERS OF THE VICTORIAN ERA
Illustrated by A.D. Baker; Paul Webb
Published by Seaforth Publishing. 1st. 2012
Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Gradually evolving from sailing frigatess, the first modern cruiser is not easy to define, but this book starts with the earliest steam paddle warships, covers the evolution of screw-driven frigates, corvettes and sloops, and then the succeeding iron, composite and steel-hulled cruising ships. Large format. Blue boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. B/w ship plans. 352 pages including index.
Top & tail of spine lightly shelf-worn else a lovely copy, looks unread!
