Description

Discover the reality of naval combat through this detailed historical study from Boydell Press. Fighting at Sea in the Eighteenth Century: The Art of Sailing Warfare moves beyond the theories of old to examine the practical realities of life and combat on the ocean. While much of what we know about maritime history comes from theorists who lacked hands-on experience, this book uses contemporary sources to provide a more accurate view of how battles were actually fought and won. This work covers the full spectrum of naval engagements, from the moment of first contact to the complex processes of damage repair. By presenting new evidence, the author overturns long-held assumptions about eighteenth-century tactics and command structures. It is an essential resource for readers interested in Great Britain's maritime history and the mechanics of sailing warfare during this era.

Uses contemporary evidence to challenge and overturn old assumptions regarding eighteenth-century maritime combat.
