Navy Board Ship Models / Nick Ball and Simon Stephens "From about the middle of the seventeenth century the Navy's administrators began to commission models of their ships that were accurately detailed and, for the first time, systematically to scale. These developed a recognised style, which included features like the unplanked lower hull with a simplified pattern of framing that emphasised the shape of the underwater body. Exquisitely crafted, these were always rare and highly prized objects - indeed, Samuel Pepys expressed a profound desire to own one - and today they are widely regarded as the acme of the ship modeller's art. Today examples form the highlights of collections across the world, valued both as art objects and as potential historical evidence on matters of ship design. However, it was only recently that researchers began to investigate the circumstances of their construction, their function, and the identities of those who made them. This book, by two curators who have worked on the world's largest collection of these models at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, summarises the current state of knowledge, outlines important discoveries, and applies this new-found understanding to many of the finest models in the collection. As befits its subject, Navy Board Ship Models is visually striking, with numerous colour photographs that make it as attractive as it is informative to anyone with an interest in modelmaking or historic ships."--Provided by the publisher 2018. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 086.5:623.82(42)

'I am determined to live or die on board my ship.' : the life of Admiral John Inglis : an American in "The life of John Inglis was so epic, it could have been a work of fiction. he was born in Philadelphia, the son of a slave trading merchant. As an underage Lieutenant commanding a schooner hunting smugglers before the Boston Tea Party, he also dined with George Washington before the War of Independence. having settled in Scotland and inheriting his uncle's Edinburgh estate, he returned to the Navy. Shipwrecked in Norway, he became embroiled in a secret service attempt to persuade Dutch naval commanders to desert. His vessel was invovle din the Nore Mutiny and astoundingly, he was held prisonder on his own ship. Honoured by the City of Edinburgh he returned to the navy for another year before giving up his command and being given the rank of Admiral in retirement. The naval career of John Inglis is not just an incredible story but one that enables a close view of life in the eighteenth-century navy. 'I am determined to live or die on board my ship' covers his action-packed naval career starting as a midshipman in command of the guns of a frigate in action against the French, and ending as the severely wounded captain of a warship in a closely fought victory against the Dutch."--Provided by the publisher. 2019. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 359.0092
