Warship Anne/ Richard Endsor "If you go down to the shore at Hastings on the UK's south coast at low tide you will come upon an amazing sight. There, revealed by the receding waves are the remarkably complete mortal remains of a seventeenth century warship. The Anne was launched in 1678 and was lost in 1690 at the battle of Beachy Head. As she lay beached, she was torched to prevent her from falling into enemy hands. Today the wreck is owned by the Shipwreck Museum at Hastings and in the past few years there have been some intriguing attempts to bring the ship back to life using advanced simulation and modeling techniques. Ship's historian and draughtsman Richard Endsor has written a history of this wonderful and accessible ship, bringing the ship fully back to life using his beautiful and accurate drawings and paintings."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.82ANNE

The Women's Royal Naval Service : a world war two memoir /Brenda Birney. "Aged only 24, in 1941 Brenda Heimann, a London secretary, joins up as a Wren. Little does she imagine that she will work in the tunnels under the white cliffs of Dover. Eight months' preparation for D-Day in Inverness culminates in Brenda being driven all along the south coast of England from Portsmouth to Dover delivering the final sealed instructions to commanders taking part in the Invasion of Normandy. Stationed in Caserta, near Naples, Brenda was shown round Venice by one of the real Monuments' Men. At the end of the War, Brenda takes her first flight - from Naples to Malta for her last posting. The WRNS was the time of her life!"--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. txt

HMS Rorqual : commanded by Lennox Napier DSO DSC June 1941 - December 1943 /compiled by Christopher Napier OBE. "HMS Rorqual, commanded by Lennox Napier DSO DSC, June 1941-December 1943 focuses on both the tactically important missions of HMS Rorqual and Napier's character and approach to submarine command in a sea dominated by Axis sea and air forces. HMS Rorqual not only brought the first submarine relief to the beleaguered island of Malta, but cut off the supply of Tiger tanks to the German Afrika Korps in North Africa, and sank one of the last remaining Axis tankers in the Mediterranean - an act which, according to Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, made Hitler go red in the face, something considered by Lennox as a lifetime achievement. With much success, but after several narrow escapes Lennox Napier successfully brought HMS Rorqual home when many other submarines did not return."--Provided by the publisher. 2017?]. • FOLIO • 1 copy available.

Poseidon's curse : British Naval impressment and Atlantic origins of the American Revolution /Christopher P. Magra. "Poseidon's Curse' interprets the American Revolution from the vantage point of the Atlantic Ocean. Christopher P. Magra traces how British naval impressment played a leading role in the rise of Great Britain's seaborne empire, yet ultimately contributed significantly to its decline. Long reliant on appropriating free laborers to man the warships that defended British colonies and maritime commerce, the British severely jeopardized mariners' earning potential and occupational mobility, which led to deep resentment toward the British Empire. Magra explains how anger about impressment translated into revolutionary ideology, with impressment eventually occupying a major role in the Declaration of Independence as one of the foremost grievances Americans had with the British government."--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 973.03

The age of the ship of the line : the British & French navies, 1650-1815 /Jonathan R. Dull. "For nearly two hundred years huge wooden warships called "ships of the line" dominated war at sea and were instrumental in the European struggle for power and the spread of imperialism. Foremost among the great naval powers were Great Britain and France, whose advanced economies could support large numbers of these expensive ships. This book, the first joint history of these great navies, offers an impartial and comprehensive picture of the two forces, their shipbuilding programs, naval campaigns, battles, and their wartime strategies and diplomacy."--Provided by the publisher.
