Product Description:
One of the most popular titles in the best-selling Anatomy of the Ship series. Comes complete with 1/192 Scale fold-out plan.
Forever associated with Nelson's last battle, HMS Victory is one of the most famous ships of all time, and is now preserved as a major part pf the Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth.
The ship's survival is particularly appropriate since Victory is not only an example of the ultimate sailing warship - the three decker First Rate - but was also the most popular and successful 100-gun ship of the period.
Forty years old by the time of Trafalgar, she had been the flagship of half a dozen famous admirals, and was to continue in active service until 1812.
First published in 1987, this revised edition of the 100-gun ship Victory now incorporates and details the most recent research and findings of the HMS Victory Advisory Technical Committee.

This Volume Features:

• Full description of the ship and her position in the development of the First Rate

• Pictorial section emphasising close-up and on-board photographs

• Guide to the ship's Trafalgar colour scheme on the book jacket

• More than 300 perspective and 3-view drawings, with in-depth descriptive keys, of every detail of the ship as presently restored - general arrangements, hull construction, fittings, decoration, masts and yards, riggings and armament

• One large-scale 1/192 plan on the reverse of extended fold-out jacket

About the Author:
John McKay also co-wrote the 24-gun Frigate Pandora another Conway title.

Scusate l'inglese, ma credo che per i papabili che vogliano costruire la Victory questo sia un "MUST", vero Santos ? Saluti da Jack.Aubrey.
