Synopsis
Explore how armor, gun design, and new propulsion shaped 19th-century naval strategy and shipbuilding. This edition presents a thoughtful look at the debates, experiments, and emerging ideas that influenced the era’s most powerful warships.
The book traces how designers balanced safety, speed, and seaworthiness, and how theories about stability and raft or cellular decks influenced real ships. It shows the tension between traditional sailing power and the newer steam era, and how officials and engineers debated the best paths forward for national fleets.
- How armor thickness, placement, and materials affected a ship’s resilience in battle
- Why planners considered raft-deck and cellular-deck concepts, and what risks they addressed
- The push and pull between sail power and steam propulsion in early modern navies
Ideal for readers of naval history and those curious about how technology and policy shaped a nation’s fighting ships.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the transition and enhancements made to the British Royal Navy. Beginning in the 1850s with the inclusion of iron in ship construction, the author delivers a blow-by-blow account of the rapid technological advancements in naval architecture and weaponry up until the late 1880s. Along the way, the author discusses the geopolitical dynamics, and disagreements between naval strategists, politicians, and engineers that both catalyzed and often impeded the urgent adoption of new technologies and ship designs. The author also details the technical debate over the virtues of armor and its proper placement, which led to the gradual shift from broadside batteries to armored turrets. This book will appeal to those interested in maritime history and the evolution of naval warfare during the late 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
