Victoria's Blue Jackets & Marines: The Royal Navy During Queen Victoria's Reign 1839-1901
ISBN: 9781846779732 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Vignettes from many engagements of the Victorian Royal Navy
For many, the great age of sail, typified by Nelson and his Royal Navy was the finest hour of British sea power. In its struggle with Napoleonic France it fought its greatest battles, brought to ruin its greatest foe and finally did rule the waves.

The British Empire now expanded quickly due in no small measure to this naval superiority. The Royal Navy was constantly employed, but now its role was the...
