Promotion or the bottom of the river : the blue and gray naval careers of Alexander F. Warley, South Carolinian /John M. Stickney. "South Carolinian Alexander F. Warley (1823-1895) was an exceptional naval officer who enjoyed a robust life of far-flung adventures at sea during several dramatic periods in American maritime history. Warley's career began in the 1840s, when he served as a midshipman on Old Ironsides and later took part in the Mexican War. His military exploits reached their zenith when he commanded the CSS Manassas - the first ironclad ship to engage in combat - at New Orleans in October 1861. John M. Stickney's richly detailed biography of Warley as an officer first in the United States Navy and later in the Confederate navy offers a representative example of America's professional military class during the nineteenth century. An ambitious youth of little means, Warley secured an appointment as a midshipman at the age of seventeen through the influence of John C. Calhoun. Over the next two decades of maritime adventures, Warley faced four courts-martial, combat and capture in the Mexican War, and the challenges of rising in the ranks. After South Carolina seceded in December 1860, Warley joined the newly formed Confederate navy and gained recognition for his service at New Orleans, commanding the Manassas until the Confederate defeat there in 1862. Warley's career in the Confederate navy ended with his command of the CSS Albemarle and its destruction at Plymouth, North Carolina. With vivid details and rich narration, Stickney portrays one young man's struggle for glory and success in a divided nation. Using ships logs and naval records, Stickney unravels Warley's naval career and explores the Civil War naval actions that unfolded in New Orleans, Charleston, Galveston, Savannah, and Plymouth during this critical time in American history, revealing the pluck and fortitude of a previously unknown combatant."--Provided by the publisher. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92WARLEY

Portsmouth dockyard : Through time /Philip MacDougall "Portsmouth Dockyard has a long and distinguished history. Functioning in a naval capacity since 1495, although more active as a dockyard from the Victorian period, few other places have such a prominent place in Britain's naval history. The dockyard is the oldest that the Royal Navy has, and boasts one of the oldest dry docks in the world; today it features as a major tourist attraction. In this book, Philip MacDougall uses his fascinating collection of images to display the incredible recent history of the dockyard. Starting with the Victorian dockyard, he looks at the mighty HMS Dreadnought, which was built at the dockyard, as well as taking the reader on a tour of the yard and its naval role. Moving forward through the decades, Philip considers the impact of the two world wars, as well as the Cold War, before finishing the story up to the present day."--Provided by the publisher. 2017 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.81(422.7)

The art of naval portraiture / Katherine Gazzard "From privileged officers to working-class sailors, the representation of naval personnel has been a significant branch of British art for over 500 years. The Art of Naval Portraiture unpacks the complex hisory of the genre through key examples in the National Maritime Museum's collection. It charts the historical evolution of the Royal Navy's image and explores the meaning of common naval symbols, from anchors, cannons and swords to uniforms, medals and badges. The book also tells the stories of artists, sitters, and collectors and of the places where portraits were made and displayed, including private homes, public exhibitions and ultimately the Museum itself."--Provided by the publisher. 2024. • BOOK • 2 copies available.
