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 22 (1809) contains maps and eyewitness accounts of the Walcheren Campaign in the Netherlands, which proved unsuccessful despite the capture of Flushing. An analysis and map of the Battle of the Basque Roads, a report of Lord Gambier's subsequent court martial, and a biographical piece on the future Admiral Thomas Cochrane are also included. Technical articles include detailed discussions on the use of Congreve's rockets.\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 State papers\u003cbr\u003e Naval literature\u003cbr\u003e Philosophical papers\u003cbr\u003e Shipwrecks\u003cbr\u003e Naval poetry\u003cbr\u003e Naval history of the present year, 1809\u003cbr\u003e Naval courts martial\u003cbr\u003e Hydrography\u003cbr\u003e Navigation\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":46265946013976,"sku":"9781108018616","price":42.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108018616i_7971b8e1-feeb-4357-bf1f-5ffd4947ec60.jpg?v=1694869495","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-naval-chronicle-volume-22-july-december-1809-containing-a-general-and-biographical-history-of-the-royal-navy-of-the-united-kingdom-with-a-variety-of-original-papers-on-nautical-subjects-paperback-9781108018616","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
