An illustrated and indispensable history of the evolution of the British Royal Navy's nineteenth century fleet of warships.
In the massive revolution that affected warship design between
Waterloo and the
Warrior, the Royal Navy was traditionally depicted as fiercely resisting every change until it was almost too late, but these old assumptions are challenged in this authoritative history of the transition from sail to steam.
In the extensively illustrated
Before the Ironclad, David K. Brown begins with the structural innovations of Robert Seppings, tracing the gradual introduction of more scientific methods and the advent of steam and the paddle fighting ship, iron hulls and screw propulsion. It analyses the performance of the fleet in the war with Russia, and concludes with the design of the
Warrior, the first iron-hulled, seagoing capital ship in the world. The author presents a picture of an organization that was well aware of new technology, carefully evaluating its practical advantage, and occasionally-as with its enthusiastic espousal of iron hulls-moving too quickly for the good of the service.
Written by an eminent naval architect,
Before the Ironclad is both a balanced account of general developments, and an in-depth study of the ships themselves.
