Description
Building the Wooden Fighting Ship by James Dodds and James J. Moore is a detailed account of the construction of HMS Thunderer, a 74-gun ship-of-the-line built in Woolwich dockyard during the 18th century. The authors draw on meticulous records from the time to recreate every stage of building, from purchasing timbers to launching the ship in 1760. The book includes specially drawn illustrations, contemporary prints and paintings, as well as descriptions of the skills and trades involved in its construction. This new edition of a first published title in 1984 will appeal to enthusiasts of traditional crafts, modelers, historians, and anyone interested in the history of naval shipbuilding.
