Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1sr Edition. Type: Book 207 pp., midnight blue buckram bdg. with gold-stamped titling on spine. Since the end of the Second World War the pattern of international trade - and the ships in which it is carried- has changed dramatically. Competition from air travel gradually displaced the liner, but with increased leisure passenger ships staged a comeback in the form of cruise ships. The burgeoning demand for oil fuel produced the supertanker, while moves to streamline cargo handling led to containerization and other forms of unitized shipment for many general trades. However, entirely new ship types were also developed to carry cargoes as diverse as cars and chemicals, livestock and nuclear waste.Illustrated throughout with b/w phototypes, figures and diagrams, both plates and in text.

(8005) HEAVY large format hardback. Overseas buyers will require extra postage. Before ordering please contact us direct for a postage quote. 192 pages. B.w. illustrations. Trafalgar, the most famous and most strategically significant victory in the age of sail, was not an isolated event. Rather it was the culmination of a campaign that began as soon as war was resumed in May 1803 and aimed ultimately at the invasion of Great Britain. To this end Napoleon attempted by ruse and elaborately disguised manoeuvres to bring his scattered and blockaded squadrons together for long enough to give him command of the Channel, which he fondly believed was all that was necessary to ensure a successful landing.

(8004) HEAVY large format hardback. Overseas buyers will require extra postage. Before ordering please contact us direct for a postage quote. 192 pages. B.w. illustrations. Regarded by many at the time as an unnecessary conflict, the War of 1812 was provoked by mutual misunderstandings and prosecuted without conviction on either side. It was also a war of surprises: the hitherto omnipotent Royal Navy suffered a series of humiliating losses at sea, while the American invasion of Canada, regarded as merely 'a matter of marching', was defeated by a makeshift force of colonial militia, native Indians and a handful of regulars. But in almost every aspect, it was a naval war, even the Canadian campaign or the burning of Washington depending entirely on seapower. The United States went to war under the slogan 'Free Trade and Sailors' Rights', but at the peace had gained concessions on neither issue.
