About This Item
E-373: Naval Institute Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1986. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 4to. Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 1985. 120 pgs. Illustrated.

Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The '74' was the classic line-of-battle ship of the late eighteenth century, and Bellona was one of the most important and long lived. Launched in 1760 during the Seven Years War, she belonged to the first truly successful class of British 74-gun ships, a design by Thomas Slade that was built in large numbers over more than twenty years. Bellona herself served with distinction over 54 years, fought in four wars and was not broken up until 1814. As part of the renowned Anatomy of the Ship series, this book provides the finest documentation of the Bellona, with a complete set of superb line drawings, supported by technical details and a record of the ship's service history. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
