About this book

This book is concerning the boats during the era of Admiral Nelson, (The battle of Trafalgar, 1805), and his boat The H.M.S. Victory, a 105 gun 1,000 man ship. Many,many illustrations showing rib construction, planking, decking, rigging etc.all from a modelers point of view. After reading numerous books of the Victory, Nelson and modeling, and being a modeler I would say that this is one of the very best, a classic.
