East Anglia against the Tricolor 1789-1815 : An English region against revolutionary and Napoleonic France "The years 1789 to 1815 were traumatic for British history in many ways A 'mad' king had lost the American colonies and now revolution in France, welcomed by many East Anglians, had invoked fear in many others. Thomas Paine and Horatio Nelson were two Norfolk men who would come to prominence for very different reasons. Suffolk would be a temporary refuge for emigre French families. And Essex would be a marching ground for thousands of British troops who stood ready to throw back Napoleon's forces. Local voices preached revolution and loyalty. Offshore, the North Sea fleet sailed from Yarmouth, Harwich and numerous small coastal towns to combat the French privateers."--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 355.49"1789/1815"

By wind and iron : naval campaigns in the Champlain Valley, 1665-1815 /Michael G. Laramie. "For more than 150 years, the natural invasion route along the waterways of the Champlain and Richelieu valleys into northeastern North America was among the most fiercely contested in the history of the continent. Whether the French and their Indian allies attacking British forts and settlements during the Seven Years' War, the American Continentals striking north into Canada during the American Revolution, or the British battling French and later American forces in these wars and the War of 1812, it was clear to policy makers in Quebec, London, Paris, Philadelphia, and Washington that whoever controlled this corridor and its lakes and rivers, controlled the heart of the continent. In By Wind and Iron: Naval Campaigns in the Champlain Valley, 1665-1815, Michael G. Laramie details the maritime history of this region from the first French fortifications along the Richelieu River in the late seventeenth century through the tremendous American victory over the British at the Battle of Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain in 1814. Using period letters, journals, and other primary source materials, the author examines the northeastern waterways and their tributaries within the framework of the soldiers and sailors who faced the perils of the campaigns, while at the same time clarifying the key role played by this region in the greater struggle for North America and American independence. In support of the narrative, the book also contains appendices that include after action reports from various fleet commanders, tables of fleet strengths, additional battle maps, a glossary, and a dictionary of lake warships with notes on vessel types, typical armament, construction, deployment, and fates."--Provided by the publisher. 2015. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.49"1665/1815"(714.4)

Across the oceans : development of overseas business information transmission 1815-1875 /Seija-Riitta "In the early 19th century, the only way to transmit information was to send letters across the oceans by sailing ships or inland by horse and coach [...] Starting in the 1930s a network of steamships, railways, canals and telegraphs was gradually built to connect different parts of the world. This book explains how the rate of information circulation increased many times over as mail systems developed."--Back cover. 2007. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 656.86"1815/1875"

Perilous fight : America's intrepid war with Britain on the high seas, 1812-1815 /Stephen Budiansky. "Budiansky shows that, far from an indecisive and unnecessary conflict--as historians have long dismissed the War of 1812--this "forgotten war" had profound consequences that would change the course of naval warfare, America's place in the world, and the rules of international conflict forever. Never again would the great powers challenge the young republic's sovereignty in the aftermath of the stunning performance of America's navy and privateersmen. Drawing extensively on diaries, letters, and personal accounts from both sides, Budiansky re-creates the encounters at sea, the intimate hopes and fears of vainglorious captains and young seamen in search of adventure, and the behind-the-scenes political intrigue and maneuvering in Washington and London."--From publisher description. 2010. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.49"1812/1815"(42:73)

Before the Ironclad : warship design and development 1815-1860 /D K Brown, RCNC. "In the massive revolution that affected warship design between Waterloo and the Warrior, the Royal Navy was traditionally depicted as fiercely resisting every change until it was almost too late, but these old assumptions were first challenged in this authoritative history of the transition from sail to steam. Originally published in 1990, it began a process of revaluation which has produced a more positive assessment of the British contribution to the naval developments of the period. This classic work is here reprinted in an entirely new edition, with more extensive illustration. Beginning with the structural innovations of Robert Seppings, the book traces the gradual introduction of more scientific methods and the advent of steam and the paddle fighting ship, iron hulls and screw propulsion. It analyses the performance of the fleet in the war with Russia (1853-1856), and concludes with the design of the Warrior, the first iron-hulled, seagoing capital ship in the world. The author presents a picture of an organisation that was well aware of new technology, carefully evaluating its practical advantage, and occasionally (as with its enthusiastic espousal of iron hulls) moving too quickly for the good of the service. Written by an eminent naval architect, Before the Ironclad is both a balanced account of general developments, and an in-depth study of the ships themselves."--Provided by the publisher. 2015. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 623.82(42)"18"

Nelson, Navy and Nation : the Royal Navy & the British people, 1688-1815 /edited by Quintin Colville "Nelson, Navy and Nation seeks to explore the Royal Navy's relationship with Britain from the Glorious Revolution to the Napoleonic Wars, encompassing three central themes: the realities of naval life in this period, the navy's connection to society, culture and national identity, and the story of Nelson's life and career. A series of chapters contributed by a distinguished panel of leading authors and historians will illuminate these themes through discrete but interconnected topics to give a fascinating contextual overview of life in Nelson's Navy, internal and external perceptions of the Royal Navy and changes in these perspectives throughout the period 1688 - 1815, and the life and career of Admiral Horatio Nelson himself. Replete with stunning imagery featuring historical artworks, paintings and objects from the collections of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, the book will combine accessible narrative history for the general reader with superb visual appeal, forming an ideal companion to the Museum's new permanent 'Nelson, Navy and Nation' gallery, which is scheduled to open in October 2013."--Provided by the publisher. 2013. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 355.49"1688/1815"(42)
