Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. This new copy is bound in faux blue calf with bright gilt titling to the spine and inset colour plate to the upper board. A dust wrapper is not called for. The text block is tight, white, bright and square. There is an attractive bookplate and an inscription to the f.f.e.p.International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This is a superb collection with general introductions, authored by acknowledged maritime historians. Lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white plates with maps as called for. There are also specially commissioned artworks. Definitely worth having in a nautical history library. This is just one title of the complete set of twenty two titles that I am selling on this site. A frigate is a type of warship. In different eras, the roles and capabilities of ships classified as frigates have varied greatly. In the 17th century, a frigate was any warship built for speed and maneuverability, the description often used being "frigate-built". These could be warships carrying their principal batteries of carriage-mounted guns on a single deck or on two decks (with further smaller carriage-mounted guns usually carried on the forecastle and quarterdeck of the vessel). The term was generally used for ships too small to stand in the line of battle, although early line-of-battle ships were frequently referred to as frigates when they were built for speed. Ref TFC.
