The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy; and naval tactics were evolving. The British Royal Navy emerged triumphant as the leading world sea power; and the epitome of Britannic naval strength was the Ship-of-the-Line. These 'wooden walls' were more than merely floating gun batteries: they contained a crew of up to 800 men; and often had to remain at sea for extended periods. This book offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the largest man-made structures produced in the pre-Industrial era.
