This reissue is the first complete printed reproduction of what was the most influential maritime publication of its day. The subjects covered range from accounts of battles and lists of ships to notices of promotions and marriages, courts martial and deaths, and biographies, poetry and letters. Each volume also contains engravings and charts relating to naval engagements and important harbours around the world. Volume 16 (1806) includes news of the unsuccessful British attack on Buenos Aires and a long biography of its leader, the influential but controversial Sir Home Popham. It also contains technical reports on shipbuilding and signalling, a list of almost 100 ships being built in British dockyards, coastal defence plans, and the codicil to Nelson's will regarding Lady Hamilton.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Biographical memoirs\u003cbr\u003e Naval anecdotes, commercial hints, recollections etc.\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence\u003cbr\u003e Naval poetry\u003cbr\u003e Naval history of the present year, 1806\u003cbr\u003e Shipwrecks\u003cbr\u003e Report of the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry\u003cbr\u003e Philosophical papers\u003cbr\u003e Naval literature\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Military history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Military history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Military%20history%20%5BHBW%5D%22\"\u003eHBW\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265945817368,"sku":"9781108018555","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108018555i_22b9ac28-7081-4a89-8c0e-1837f45c811a.jpg?v=1694869488","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-naval-chronicle-volume-16-july-december-1806-containing-a-general-and-biographical-history-of-the-royal-navy-of-the-united-kingdom-with-a-variety-of-original-papers-on-nautical-subjects-paperback-9781108018555","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
