The construction and fitting of the sailing man of war 1650-1850 / Peter Goodwin. "Contrary to popular belief, wooden shipbuilding did not remain static during its last two centuries, but developed in many quite fundemental respects. For the modelmaker and technical historian who have long sought the precise details of these changes, this book will answer most, if not all, of their questions. Every aspect of the building process if covered, with considerable space devoted to the exact sizes of timber scantlings and fastenings, and is illustrated in depth with the author's own engineering-standard drawings, and is photographs of models and surviving full-size vessels. Devised as a companion to James Less' Masting and Rigging, this book will do for hull construction what Less did for warship top-hamper."--Back cover 1987. • FOLIO • 4 copies available. 623.82"16/18"(091)

The world of the Newport medieval ship : trade, politics and shipping in the mid-fifteenth century /edited by Evan T. Jones and Richard Stone. "The Newport Medieval Ship is the most important late-medieval merchant vessel yet recovered. Built c.1450 in northern Spain, it foundered at Newport twenty years later while undergoing repairs. Since its discovery in 2002, further investigations have transformed historians' understanding of fifteenth-century ship technology. With plans in place to make the ship the centrepiece for a permanent exhibition in Newport, this volume interprets the vessel, to enable visitors, students and researchers to understand the ship and the world from which it came. The volume contains eleven chapters, written by leading maritime archaeologists and historians. Together, they consider its significance and locate the vessel within its commercial, political and social environment."--Provided by the publisher. 2018. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 656.61:339.13

Ships of the Royal Navy, a supplement to the historical index. "Since the two volumes of 'Ships of the Royal Navy' were published by David & Charles in 1969/70 some 500 ships then existing have been sold or otherwise disposed of, and more than 300 new vessels have been added. Further information has come to light on some of the vessels previously listed and many errors needed correcting. This is an attempt at updating the previous work, through in the case of the new ships, only type, displacement, builders and launch dates are given, since readers will have found other particulars from Marine News or from other publications."--Introduction 1986. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.82(42)

The Arctic in the British imagination 1818-1914 "The Arctic and the accounts of its exploration and heroes fascinated people in Victorian Britain. But how was this distant region represented to them? Which stories had lasting appeal and which were soon forgotten? How were the indigenous people represented, and what difficulties confronted the artist, photographer and engraver in depicting the Arctic? How and why did the images and forms of representation change during the nineteenth century? As Robert David tells us in this fascinating book, Britain's imagined Arctic was created through a staggering variety of representations: from travel narratives to works of art and panoramas, from museum displays, tableaux vivants, and international exhibitions, to engravings in the illustrated press, as well as lectures organised by the geographical societies, school text books and adventure stories for children. There were also numerous cartoons, advertisements and board games, all of which fed the obsession. In this epic study of so many forms of representation over an extended time span, David has been able to reassess the whole nature of Arctic representation and how it changed in importance over time. Using this rich material in illuminating new ways, he argues that Arctic representations followed a different dynamic from those associated with more familiar locations of Empire, and so opens up a whole new area of study and discussion."--Provided by the publisher. 2000 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 001.9:910.4(98)"1818/1914"

Beachhead assault : the story of the Royal Naval Commandos in World War II /David Lee ; foreword by Tony Parsons ; preface by Ken Oakley. "The Royal Naval Commandos had one of the most dangerous and the most important tasks of any in World War II - they were first on to the invasion beaches and they were the last to leave. Formed in 1941 as the Royal Naval Beach Parties, many lost their lives during Operation Jubilee at Dieppe in 1942. Organised into units from A Commando to the all-Canadian W Commando, they became fully fledged fighting Commandos with their legendary Fairbairn Sykes commando knives. Under their officers who were designated as Beachmasters, the Royal Naval Commandos led the way in on the beaches as part of the Allied landings in Madagascar, North Africa, Pantelleria, Sicily, Salerno, the Volturno River, Anzio, Arakan, Normandy, Elba, Walcheren and Commachio. Their work on the beaches was crucial to the success of the Allied invasions. The story of the Commandos covers their beginnings early in the war and their training - both at their base, HMS Armadillo at Ardentinny in Scotland, and the famous Achnacarry Commando training school - to the invasions they spearheaded. After the War the Royal Naval Commandos were disbanded and their role was given to the Royal Marines. The personal accounts of the Royal Naval Commandos contained in this book tell the remarkable story of a remarkable but little-known group of men, ensuring that their legacy will not be forgotten."--Provided by the publisher. 2004. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.545.9(42)

Anna of Denmark and Henrietta Maria : virgins, witches, and Catholic queens /Susan Dunn-Hensley. "This book examines how early Stuart queens navigated their roles as political players and artistic patrons in a culture deeply conflicted about the legitimacy of female authority. Anna of Denmark and Henrietta Maria both employed powerful female archetypes such as Amazons and the Virgin Mary in court performances. Susan Dunn-Hensley analyzes how darker images of usurping, contaminating women, epitomized by the witch, often merged with these celebratory depictions. By tracing these competing representations through the Jacobean and Caroline periods, Dunn-Hensley peels back layers of misogyny from historical scholarship and points to rich new lines of inquiry. Few have written about Anna's religious beliefs, and comparing her Catholicism with Henrietta Maria's illuminates the ways in which both women were politically subversive. This book offers an important corrective to centuries of negative representation, and contributes to a fuller understanding of the role of queenship in the English Civil War and the fall of the Stuart monarchy."--Provided by the publisher. 2017 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 942.06
