Kurzbeschreibung
The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy, and naval tactics were evolving. The British Royal Navy emerged triumphant as the leading world sea power, and the epitome of Britannic naval strength was the Ship-of-the-Line. These 'wooden walls' were more than merely floating gun batteries: they contained a crew of up to 800 men, and often had to remain at sea for extended periods. This book offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the largest man-made structures produced in the pre-Industrial era.
Synopsis
The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars encompassed a period when rival European fleets vied for naval supremacy, and naval tactics were evolving. The British Royal Navy emerged triumphant as the leading world sea power, and the epitome of Britannic naval strength was the Ship of the Line. These "wooden walls" were more than merely floating gun batteries: they contained a crew of up to 800 men, and often had to remain at sea for extended periods. This text offers detailed coverage of the complex vessels that were the largest man-made structures produced in the pre-Industrial era. It includes discussion of some of the most famous individuals and ships of the day, such as Nelson, Cochrane, HMS Victory and HMS Indefatigable. There is also a catalogue of all British Ships-of-the-Line from 1792 to 1815, as well as Orders of Battle for Trafalgar, Copenhagen and the Nile.

Format:Taschenbuch
British Napoleonic Ship-of-the-Line gibt dem an der Marinegeschichte Großbritanniens interessierten Leser meiner Meinung nach einen wundervollen Einblick in ein Linienschiff der Zeit um 1800.
Alle Funktionen, Räumlichkeiten und Einzelheiten dieser mächtigen Schiffe, die Englands Seeherrschaft sicherten, werden mit liebevollen Details in hübschen Zeichnungen und (auch für deutsche Leser) recht gut verständlichen Texten erläutert.
Der noch relativ niedrige Preis des Buches stellt ein weiteres Plus dar. Ich hätte beim ersten Anklicken des Buches damit gerechnet, einen höheren Preis vorzufinden (In unserer Stadtbibliothek, wo ich es zum ersten Mal las, war kein Preis notiert). Dem war nicht so.
Ergo finde ich, dass der Kauf dieses Buches auf jeden Fall lohnt. Ein Muss für jeden Freund der Britischen Flotte zur Zeit Nelsons.

Very brief coverage
17. Mai 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This short coverage of ships of the line is more like a pamphlet than a book. It does have a few nice color plates, though the centerfold of the Victory has the gunroom labeled as an anchor.

Useful only as an introduction to the subject
24. November 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Although the writer gives the impression that has studied his subject well, the short space of the book and the emphasis on the color artwork does not give him the chance to produce a really good work. The reader can find though some interesting pieces of information about the British ships of the period, and the appendices contain full lists of all the warships fron the sixth rate upward that served under the Union Jack. The color profiles are very good (HMS Agamemnon and HMS Bellerophon are included) but the centerfold cutaway of HMS Victory has some drawbacks. The book has some strong points regarding the reference to the conditions of service for the crew but it doesn't delve into particular battles.

Backbone of the English fleet--the Ship-of-the-line
5. Februar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
In its day, the "Ship-of-the-line" was the equivalent to battleships in the 20th century. The "line" refers to the fact that a standard strategy of naval warfare was to have large ships on the two sides in battle in a line, firing broadsides at one another. Hence, ship-of-the-line.
These ships were the largest fighting ships of their time, divided into four classes. The least of them was still normally more powerful than a frigate, the next ship down in power. One of the best known of these vessels was H.M.S. Victory, which Admiral Horatio Nelson commanded so famously (see a cutaway view of the ship on pages 28-29).
The brief book begins by noting the importance of this class of vessel (Page 3): "Seapower was the key to victory, and the British ship-of-the-line was the ultimate arbiter of maritime supremacy." The book begins by noting the rating system (depending largely on firepower; top level ships-of-the-line had 100+ cannon and three levels of cannon). There is discussion of design of these behemoths, how to build an effective battle fleet, fleet strength, and ship types. Next is an exploration of operation, how ships were organized, how to sail such a ship, battle tactics, and ships in action.
An especially interesting section is a listing of ships-of-the-line on pages 37-41, from the "First rate" ships such as Victory, Britannia, Hibernia and Howe to the "Fourth rate" ships, featuring 50-60 guns. There is also a list of ships captured from French and Spanish navies, among others. The book closes with a bibliography and glossary (Did you know that an "orlop" is the deck below the lowest gun deck?).
If you want a quick introduction to this workhorse of the fleet, this is a good reference.
