Tudor Warships (2): Elizabeth I's Navy (New Vanguard)
"Konstam has produced an excellent example of the genre and it serves as a quick introduction to early Tudor warship design, ordinance, and the engagements fought in the first half of the sixteenth century... can be recommended without reservation on that basis." -Ian Yeates,The Northern Mariner / Le Marin Du Nord"The author is a specialist in this period and successfully brings to life the Tudor warship's developmental history and its use on the high seas. [The book] examines in detail the Mary Rose-the only 16th century warship on display anywhere in the world-and her tragic sinking. Meticulously researched archive photographs and detailed full-color artwork, including cutaways and contemporary illustrations." -Capt. Edward Lundquist,Sea Classics"While this particular book is not actually geared toward modelers it is a very good reference to have at hand. Historical reference material is just as important to a modeler as is detailed information on your subject. So adding this book to your reference library would be a wise choice. It is written on a level that allows the reader to take in the information." -Jim Adams,Model Shipwrights(April 2008)"...backed by superb images of period illustrations and the artwork of Tony Bryan, providing one with an outstanding book on a truly unique subject. Get this one, you'll be pleased you did." -Scott Van Aken,modelingmadness.com(April 2008)--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
