This new addition to the best-selling Conway pocket-book range features Admiral Nelson`s fully preserved flagship HMS Victory, the most tangible symbol of the Royal Navy`s greatest battle off Cape Trafalgar on October 21st 1805. In the HMS Victory Pocket Manual, Peter Goodwin adopts a fresh approach to explain the workings of the only surviving `line of battle` ship of the Napoleonic Wars. &, as Victory was engaged in battle during only two per cent of her active service, the book also provides a glimpse into life & work at sea during the other ninety-eight per cent of the time. This volume presents answers to questions such as: ` What types of wood were used in building Victory?`; ` What was Victory`s longest voyage?`; ` How many shots were fired from her guns at Trafalgar?`; ` How many boats did Victory carry?`; ` What was prize money?`; ` What was grog?`; ` When did her career as a fighting ship end?`, & ` How many people visit Victory each year?`. It gives a full history of the world`s most famous warship through a highly accessible pocket-book format. The book

Includes:: a pertinent & varied selection of contemporary documents & records to explain the day-to-day running of a three-decker Georgian warship. The leading historian of the sailing man of war, Peter Goodwin was technical & historical advisor to HMS Victory in Portsmouth for more than 20 years, & is in a unique position to investigate & interpret not only the ship`s structure but also the essential aspects of shipboard life: victualling, organisation, discipline, domestic arrangements & medical care.
