The Sailing Frigate: A History In Ship Models
The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich houses the largest collection of scale ship models in the world many of which are official contemporary artefacts made by the craftsmen of the navy or the shipbuilders themselves and ranging from the mid seventeenth century to the present day As such they represent a three-dimensional archive of unique importance and authority Treated as historical evidence they offer more detail than even the best plans and demonstrate exactly what the ships looked like in a way that even the finest marine painter could not achieve This book is the first of a series which will take selections of the best models to tell the story of specific ship types - in this case the evolution of the cruising ship under sail Each volume reproduces a large number of model photos
all in full colour and including many close-up and detail views These are captioned in depth but many are also annotated to focus attention on interesting or unusual features Although pictorial in emphasis the book weaves the pictures into an authoritative text producing an unusual and attractive form of technical historyWhile the series will be of particular interest to ship modellers all those with an interest in ship design and development will attracted to the in-depth analysis of these beautifully presented books
