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 26, published in 1811, contains reports of British naval successes in the Far East. The capture of Tamatavé in Madagascar and the surrender of Java are discussed, with extracts from French state papers concerning the French navy. An improvement in the King's mental health is announced, and maps and descriptions of the Dardanelles Strait and the port of Istanbul are also included.\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 Hydrography\u003cbr\u003e Shipwrecks\u003cbr\u003e Marine law\u003cbr\u003e Naval history of the present year, 1811\u003cbr\u003e State papers\u003cbr\u003e Naval architecture\u003cbr\u003e Naval literature\u003cbr\u003e Naval poetry\u003cbr\u003e Astronomy\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":46265945882904,"sku":"9781108018654","price":42.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108018654i_90b334c3-dd4c-4723-ae3b-0ff46c3164dd.jpg?v=1694869494","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-naval-chronicle-volume-26-july-december-1811-containing-a-general-and-biographical-history-of-the-royal-navy-of-the-united-kingdom-with-a-variety-of-original-papers-on-nautical-subjects-paperback-9781108018654","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
