mic-art Posted June 13, 2019 #1 Posted June 13, 2019 When searching for details about 18:th century naval guns i stumbled on this interesting online-book that is published on google books: Artillery: "An Illustrated History of Its Impact" Sorry if it already has been discussed here earlier, I couldn't find anything when I searched the forum anyway. Perhaps it is of value for someone? CaptainSteve, mtaylor, Roger Pellett and 1 other 4 Quote
BANYAN Posted June 13, 2019 #2 Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks for the pointer; any such information always helps and contributes to the greater information of naval (and land based) artillery. There are a number of useful books of this era available online such as A Treatise of Naval Gunnery by Sir H Douglas amongst many. Thanks for taking taking the time to share this. cheers Pat druxey, mic-art and mtaylor 3 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)

druxey Posted June 14, 2019 #4 Posted June 14, 2019 From the excerpt, this appears to be a very readable history of ordnance. mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
