Development of British Warships 1860-1906 A Photographic Record: summary, description and annotation

Illustrated with 200 official admiralty photographs, many of them previously unpublished, this book traces the development of Royal Naval ship design in a period of immense change. Opening with the Crimean War, this period saw the gradual transition from sail to steam and screw propulsion; from wood to steel construction; from fixed broadside armaments of bronze muzzle-loaders to turret-mounted steel breech-loaders and torpedoes. The period covered in this volume closes with the launch of HMS Dreadnought, which overnight rendered all existing ships obsolete and signalled the start in earnest of the Anglo-German naval arms race which contributed to the outbreak of WW1. Each photograph is accompanied by full specifications (where available) and a caption detailing anysignificant design features, while the main text gives an overview of naval developments across the period under discussion, setting the selected ships in context

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Phil Sidnell, my editor at Pen & Sword Books, for offering me the chance to write this book, and then for guiding a first-time author through the process of turning it into reality. I would also like to thank Hugh Alexander and all the staff of the Image Library at the National Archives, Kew, for their invaluable help in providing the production-quality copies of the approximately two hundred photographs that comprise the heart of this book in a very short space of time. In many ways, obtaining these illustrations was the most nerve-wracking part of writing this book as it was something that was entirely new to me, but Hugh ensured that the process went as smoothly as I could possibly have hoped.

On a personal note, I would like to thank my dear friend Alastair for allowing me to borrow freely from his library, and for reading and commenting on an early draught of the text. Finally, but by no means least, thank you to my family for their enduring love and support. And to Laura, with all my love, for enduring a year of pre-occupation and busy weekends.
