About This Item
Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 1961. ISBN: 0870210777. Hardcover (7.5 x 9.75 inches (19 x 25 cm)), 283 pages. Reprint - Eighth Impression 1981. The book is in Very Good condition. Green cloth boards with gold lettering on spine. Lightly bumped/rubbed. Pages browning/foxing. Soiling (spots) on page fore edge. The dust jacket (dj) is in Good+ condition. It is bumped, rubbed and chipped. Small tears with chips (pieces) missing at head and foot of spine (corners) and at the upper corner of the front flap. There is noticeable creasing along edges, with rubbing and soiling noted along the crease of the rear flap fold. Some soiling, specifically a series of small specks on the front cover in the area of the title block. The dj is not clipped, although there is no price indicated. The dust jacket is protected in an archival (removable) book jacket cover. Nelson's history has been written from every possible angle, but this is not so with his ships. In this book, Dr. Longridge was able to compile from authentic sources and his scale model of HMS Victory, a veritable treasure trove for the naval historian and ship modeller. There are nearly 200 line drawings, designed by E. Bowness and executed by G.F. Campbell, ranging from elaborate perspective drawing of the complex gear at the fore top and crosstrees to the simplest detail. The foldout plans by G.F. Campbell include lines, inboard and outboard profile, deck plans of the hull, standing and running rigging plans, and a complete belaying pin plan. Such analysis of a ship of this period has never before been attempted, and the ship lover, naval architect and/or ship modeller of today is fortunate to have such a work.

The shipping charges quoted for Priority Mail (Medium Flat Rate Box) are for a parcel measuring 13-5/8" x 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" or 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" and less than two (2) pounds (lbs).
