Description
An all encompassing study of naval armament under fighting sail. This volume covers axes, boarding pikes, cutlasses, officers’ swords and dirks, and weapons at hand that were in use between 1626 and 1826 tracing their development in the navies of England and Northern Europe through that of the United States. Heavily illustrated with art and photography including an 8 page color section. Outstanding reference on the artifacts and, if you are interested in naval history, a good read.
