. His last book was a new and enlarged edition of Warships of the Napoleonic Era. Robert Gardiner is the author of three books on sailing cruisers, including Frigates of the Napoleonic Wars, published in 2000 and re-released in paperback in 2006
Now available in paperback, this book tells the story of the evolution of the cruising ship under sail. The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich houses the largest collection of scale ship models in the world. While the series will be of particular interest to ship modelers, all those with an interest in ship design and development will be attracted to the in-depth analysis of these beautifully presented books.. It includes a large number of model photos all in full-color as well as close-up and detail views. As such they represent a three-dimensional ar
It will appeal to anyone with an interest in the era of sail. The Naval Review . An extensively researched book full of insight and a wealth of detail
"Beautiful photographs of model ships." according to Troutman. This book is more to my liking. The photos are clear, sharp, and outstanding models that provide a glimpse of what is required of a frigate, particularly in terms of the highly detailed accoutrements on the models illustrated.

Sinnott III I'm a professional model maker, aerospace (unfortunately), but whose true love the past 45 years has always been man-o-war models. Curiously enough, the more spacecraft I build the more fascinated I become with the technology of the wooden walls. Perhaps this is a counter-balancing mechanism. At any rate this interest in wooden warships has filled my library with many wonderful books by the most credible naval design authorities. Frequently the books in my collection featured images of the beautif
