Got an email update. Looks like it will be delayed until about the first of the year. Oh well. It's the new post-covid publishing normal.

 

Curious. Seawatch graciously included a chapter sample. But it was about a 60 gun ship. I thought volume three was going to be about "cruisers", i.e., frigates like the Shannon, not necessarily fourth rates.

It’s my understanding volume 3 will cover the 4ths, 5ths and whatever else is left.

In a couple of footnotes in this book, Mr. Walker notes that the museum has recently purchased a model of the 120-gun HMS Trafalgar of 1841 for the NA collection.

 

I believe this was the model. Looks like their model of HMS Royal Adelaide:
