michaelpsutton2 Posted January 7, 2014 #1 Posted January 7, 2014 The latest and, I guess, finalt volume in Rif Winfield's series on the British Navy is available for pre-order. "British Warships in the Age of Sail 1817-1863" is on Seaforth Publishing's website. I have the first two volumes but for some strange reason the price on Volume 3 "1792-1817" is in the thousands of dollars. So I am getting an order in early for Volume 4. Although I do wonder if there is much new material not found in the Sail & Steam Navy by David Lyon trippwj 1 Quote Drown you may, but go you must and your reward shall be a man's pay or a hero's grave

michaelpsutton2 Posted January 7, 2014 Author #3 Posted January 7, 2014 I'll give you $100 for your copy right now! This morning on Amazon.com New $4128.88 Used $2002.39. I am asuming they did not print as many as the others. I can't imagine that it is because that one is so much more interesting I better buy the used one. It looks like a bargain flying_dutchman2 and trippwj 2 Quote Drown you may, but go you must and your reward shall be a man's pay or a hero's grave
