King's Cutters and Smugglers 1700-1855
ISBN: 9781548304416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The reader will note that in the Appendices a considerable amount of interesting data has been collected. This has been rendered possible only with great difficulty, but it is believed that in future years the dimensions and details of a Revenue Cutter's construction, the sizes of her spars, her tonnage, guns, &c., the number of her crew carried, the names and dates of the fleets of cutters employed will have an historical value which cannot easily be assessed in the present age that is still familiar with sailing craft. In making researches for the preparation of this volume I have to...

This book is-quite simply-the definitive work on a unique period of maritime history-from the beginning of the eighteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century when British seamen risked all to smuggle valuable goods from wool to tea and spirits from and to the Continent. These were ruthless men operating in large gangs, manning substantial, heavily armed vessels, who were not reticent when it came to attacking the Kings Cutters, storming Customs Houses, occupying towns, terrorising communities and committing murder and torture whenever they...

The author of this book, Keble Chatterton was a well known and prolific writer on the history of the age of sail.

The Mercantile Marine: the Story of the Merchants of the Seas and Oceans
ISBN: 9780857060822 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The story of sail and trade
Man is a creature on the land occupying a world covered principally by water. Whilst he could move himself and his trade goods by foot, beast and wheel, he realised millennia ago the potentials of the open water and the power of the wind to carry his goods to market. So the birth of the Mercantile Marine was inevitable. The history of the passage of goods upon the high seas has been taken in hand here by Keble Chatterton a recognised scholar of his time on all matters maritime. This book-which includes many images of merchant men-traces the course of this... The story of sail and trade

ISBN: 9780788422980 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pirates and acts of piracy were not limited to the Caribbean Sea and the 16th and 17th centuries, as we often think, but ranged far across time and place. The author describes the men of adventure who took to pirating in classical times around the Mediterranean Sea, and, later, the Vikings in the North Sea, the Algerian Corsairs, and the English who crisscrossed the Atlantic Ocean in search of (primarily) Spanish gold, as well as the pirates of Borneo and China. Biographical sketches of several well-known pirates are included: Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, Captain Avery, Captain Kidd, and Paul...
