Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a great introduction to the early history of fighting ships armed with gunpowder weapons. It starts at the dawn of gunpowder artillery and ends with the first real Ship of the Line, Sovereign of the Seas.
It has enough technical details to please anyone who is already interested in maritime history while being very understandable and entertaining for the general reader.
