Ships of the American Revolution and Their Models - A representative sample of seven ships from the Revolutionary War--American and British, privateers and regular warships--are fully described in this book by one of the best-known ship modelers in the world, Harold Hahn. Those included are the 44-gun ship HMS Roebuck, the 16-gun sloop HMS Druid, the U.S. frigates Hancock and Confederacy, the U.S. privateer Oliver Cromwell, the 205-ton HMS Pelican, and the 74-gun HMS Alfred. The first half of this book deals with the history of each vessel. The remaining chapters are devoted to step-by-step detailed descriptions of building a model, using the Alfred, the largest and most complex of these ships, as the prime subject. Specially commissioned photographs illustrate every stage of development, and full sets of plans for each ship are provided. This handsome book will enthrall model builders and also appeal to historians and everyone interested in ships.
The Pirate Ship 1660-1730 - The deeds and personalities of famous pirates have received significant attention in recent years: however, no detailed depiction of their vessels has ever been produced. This title redresses the imbalance, conducting a detailed exploration of the wide variety of pirate vessels that sailed the high seas during the 'golden age' of piracy (1690–1730), from gun-bristling warships to smaller craft such as sloops, brigantines and early schooners. It incorporates the latest archaeological evidence to produce a fascinating account of these vessels, detailing their origins, development and tactical engagement. Packed with contemporary illustrations and superbly detailed colour artwork, the ships of the 'golden age' are brought vividly to life. The unrivalled illustrated reference on fighting vehicles, transport and artillery through the ages. Each volume is illustrated throughout, making these books uniquely accessible to history enthusiasts of all ages.
New Vanguard 79: American Heavy Frigates 1794-1826 - By 1805 the 44-gun frigate was probably viewed as a failed experiment whilst the 38-gun frigate was viewed as the vessel of the future. 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 performance against the Barbary Pirates, caught the imagination of the world – and spurred all navies into re-examining the class.
