Russian Warships In The Age Of Sail 1696-1860

In battle it was surprisingly successful and at times in the eighteenth century was the third largest navy in the world - yet its history and especially its ships are virtually unrecorded in the West.This major new reference work handsomely fills this gap with a complete and comprehensive list of the fleet with technical detail and career highlights for every ship down to small craft. However because the subject is so little recorded in English the book also provides substantial background material on the organisation and administration of the navy its weapons
