Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an encyclopedic compendium of the worldâs navies in 1880.

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of naval forces of the worldâs major navies, with detailed statistics on ships and their weaponry. The author places particular emphasis upon the new ships being commissioned by the world's naval powers at the end of the 19th century, examining their armament, protection, and overall capabilities.
