Book Reviews of Nelson's Navy: The Ships, Men and Organization, 1793-1815
Book Review: Nelson's Navy
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent in every way - comprehensive, good value, interesting, useful, hard to fault. Covers the period of sailing ships at the peak of their development, with details of all sailing ship types, their design, building, fitting and guns. Discusses officers' and mens' recruitment, training, pay, uniforms, and the big gap between 'pressed men' and the most highly skilled and knowledgeable leading seamen and higher ranks. Often under very adverse weather and working conditions, low pay, danger in battles, long absences from home, poor food, and bad administration, 1815 had its 'glorious' actions, but also saw the beginning of the end of Nelson's Navy - the first cross-Channel steamship service began.
