London: Conway Maritime Press, 1993. During nearly all of this period the Royal Navy was the largest navy in the world and the most industrialised organisation of its time. In particular the Royal Dockyards provide a very early example of factory style organisation before the rise of factories as such, and in many ways foreshadow the Industrial Revolution. A single ship of the line carried more and heavier guns than would be attached to an enture army, she would support a crew equivalent to the population a a small town for months on end, and had to be able to navigate the seas, survive bad weather and to fight during this time. xv, 367pp illustrated in black and white. . Cloth, Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 300x255mm.
