Oh, shipmates and world-mates, all round! we the people suffer many abuses. Our gun-deck is full of complaints. In vain from Lieutenants do we appeal to the Captain; in vain--while on board our world-frigate--to the indefinite Navy Commissioners, so far out of sight aloft. Yet the worst of our evils we blindly inflict upon ourselves; our officers can not remove them, even if they would. From the last ills no being can save another; therein each man must be his own saviour.

It is October 1789, in New South Wales. Into Sydney, capital of Britain´s infant colony, sails the frigate Tempest. She is one of His Majesty´s ships employed in policing the new southern trade routes. Her captain is Richard Bolitho, who hopes to be ordered home to England. Instead, he is despatched on a mission to the islands of the Great South Sea, where he must face hazards of fickle winds, pirates and savage islanders. But he is menaced by deeper fears; the men of the Bounty have mutinied in these same waters; and from distant Europe comes news of a revolution in France...

- 14. Any Approaching Enemy: A Novel of the Napoleonic Wars
Preis: EUR 10.95 ; Versand: EUR 0.00 Versandkostenfrei innerhalb von Deutschland; Anbieter: buecher.de - (Teil2)
With the stunning high-seas adventure Sails on the Horizon, Jay Worrall introduced a bold new hero in the rousing tradition of Jack Aubrey: Charles Edgemont, an ambitious officer in His Britannic Majesty´s navy. Raised to the rank of captain for gallantry under fire, Edgemont proved his mettle in the bruising British victory over the Spanish fleet at the Battle of St. Vincent. Now married and in command of the twenty-eight-gun frigate Louisa, the young captain sails toward a day of destiny-for himself and for England. The year is 1798. The war between England and revolutionary France has reached a bloody stalemate, with England in the ascendancy at sea and France unchallenged on the Continent, thanks in large part to an unorthodox twenty-eight-year-old general named Napoleon Bonaparte. But the French, secretly amassing a powerful fleet, mean to break the impasse. When rumors of the French preparations leak, the Admiralty dispatches a squadron of seven ships-among them the Louisa-under the command of Rear Admiral Horatio Nelson to investigate. Blindsided by a storm of ferocious intensity, the ships scatter across the seas. After the storm subsides, the damaged frigates limp back to the rendezvous point. But there is no sign of Nelson´s flagship, Vanguard, nor of two other ships of the line. Edgemont fears that the pugnacious rear admiral has pressed on with the mission. Putting his career on the line by disobeying direct orders, Edgemont sets out in pursuit of Nelson and the French fleet on a treacherous voyage along the Tuscan coast. As tensions among the crew threaten to explode into open insubordination or worse, Edgemont makes an unexpected discovery in Naples that mayseriously compromise his mission. When the missing French fleet turns up off the shores of Egypt, conveying an army tens of thousands strong, Edgemont is suddenly thrown into a crisis of conscience. As circumstances grow dire and require heroic action, the fate of the cruc

- 16. The Battle of Hampton Roads: New Perspectives on the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia
Preis: EUR 52.95 ; Versand: EUR 0.00 Versandkostenfrei innerhalb von Deutschland; Anbieter: buecher.de - (Teil1)
On March 8 and 9, 1862, a sea battle off the Virginia coast changed naval warfare forever. It bagan when the Confederate States Navy´s CSS Virginia led a task force to break the Union blockade of Hampton Roads. The Virginia sank the USS Cumberland and forced the frigate Congress to surrender. Damaged by shore batteries, the Virginia retreated, returning the next day to find her way blocked by the newly arrived USS Monitor. The clash of ironclads was underway. After fighting for nine hours, both ships withdrew, neither seriously damaged, with both sides claiming victory. Although the battle may have been a draw and the Monitor sank in a storm later that year, this first encounter between powered, ironclad warships spelled the end of wooden warships--and the dawn of a new navy. This book takes a new look at this historic battle. The ten original essays, written by leading historians, explore every aspect of the battle--from the building of the warships and life aboard these ´´iron coffins´´ to tactics, strategy, and the debates about who really won the battle of Hampton Roads. Co-published with The Marineers´ Museum, home to the USS Monitor Center, this authoritative guide to the military, political, technological, and cultural dimensions of this historic battle also features a portfolio of classic lithographs, drawings, and paintings.

This work is set in June 1815. On the eve of Waterloo, a sense of finality and cautious hope pervade a nation wearied by decades of war. But peace will present its own challenge to Adam Bolitho, captain of His Majesty´s Ship Unrivalled, as many of his contemporaries face the prospect of discharge. The life of a frigate captain is always lonely, but for Adam, mourning the death of his uncle Admiral Sir Richard Bolitho, that solitude acquires a deeper poignancy. He is, more than ever, alone, at the dawning of a new age for the Royal Navy, where the only constants are the sea and those enemies, often masked in the guise of friendship, who conspire to destroy him.

- 18. White Jacket, or the World in a Man-Of-War: Volume Five
Preis: EUR 12.95 ; Versand: EUR 0.00 Versandkostenfrei innerhalb von Deutschland; Anbieter: buecher.de - (Teil2)
Melville wrote White-Jacket; or, The World in a Man-of-War during a two-month period of intense work in the summer of 1849. He drew upon his memories of naval life, having spent fourteen months as an ´´ordinary seaman´´ aboard the frigate United States as it sailed the Pacific and made the homeward voyage around Cape Horn. A crewman on the man-of-war Neversink, White-Jacket gets his name from the shirt he turned into a coat and lined with rags, old trouser legs, and cast-off socks. The journey he undertakes is dangerous -- a man falls overboard, White-Jacket tumbles from the rigging, and the least insubordination is punished with the lash. Melville´s story portrays the inhumanity of naval life, saving special vitriol for the unnamed ship´s surgeon, who has the power to stop a flogging if a man´s life is endangered -- but never does; and for the inept Dr. Cuticle, who amputates a sailor´s healthy leg to make a point. The description of such excesses was instrumental in convincing the United States Navy to outlaw flogging. Many scandalized Northern readers acknowledged that the treatment of sailors was little different than that given to slaves in the South. Melville regarded the writing of White-Jacket as a mere job, undertaken for much-needed cash, but the novel received almost universal acclaim. The English liked its praise of British seamen and its vivid descriptions of naval life. Americans were interested in Melville´s attack on naval abuses and his advocacy of humanitarian causes. Part autobiography, part epic fiction, White-Jacket remains an imaginative social novel by one of the great writers of the sea.

- 20. Escape from the French: A Young Royal Navy Midshipman´s Adventures During the Napoleonic War
Preis: EUR 23.95 ; Versand: EUR 0.00 Versandkostenfrei innerhalb von Deutschland; Anbieter: buecher.de - Topseller
A gripping true account of high adventure This is an essential first hand account of the war the Royal Navy fought against Napoleon Bonaparte´s France. Truth is said to be often stranger than fiction and this tale of battle, capture and escape could have come directly from the pen of C. S Forrester or one of the other famous authors of life before the mast in the early nineteenth century. While sailing on the frigate Phoebe, Boys was present when she took two ships of the enemy fleet. Boys was subsequently put aboard one as prize-master. His elation was short lived as their little convoy was soon surprised by four French frigates and Boys and his scratch crew taken prisoner. Incarceration within a daunting fortress in France followed but still Boys and his companions planned and effected an audacious escape from their formidable prison that was but the prelude to a flight through enemy held territory in the hope of crossing the Channel to England and liberty.

Thirteen-year-old Dan Dobson and his family have just immigrated to Upper Canada from the American States when the War of 1812 flares up. Their neighbours in the town of York - today´s Toronto - suspect them of spying for the Americans, but the Dobsons ´´are´´ loyal to Britain and determined to remain in York. Dan´s dream is to sail with the British frigate ´´Sir Isaac Brock´´ which he and his father are helping to build. He sees war as an exciting adventure - that is until he gets his first taste of battle on the day the American forces invade York. ´´Fire Ship´´ is a fast-moving historical novel for young people that brings the War of 1812 to life in a way that only Marianne Brandis can. The attention to detail and acute historical sensibility that so distinguished Brandis´s Emma´ trilogy are in full evidence once again. From the opening scene of ´´Fire Ship´´ in which Dan paddles across the silent bay towards Toronto Island to the graphic scenes of cannon fire and rough military doctoring in Fort York, Brandis invites us to experience Toronto exactly as it was in 1813. She also introduces us to a strong new character in Dan who grapples with issues of loyalty and nationality and the brutality of war. The story must work as a story; it must not be a sugar-coated history lesson, ´ Brandis says of her approach to historical fiction, my goal is to give fiction the verisimilitude of fact, and to touch fact with the colour and vivacity of fiction.´

In March 1784, at a time when most of the fleet was laid up, His Majesty´s frigate Undine weighed anchor at Spithead to begin a voyage to India and far beyond. As her new captain, Richard Bolitho was glad to go, despite the nature of his orders and the immensity of the voyage - for he was leaving an England still suffering from the aftermath of war. But he was to learn that signatures on proud documents did not necessarily make a lasting peace, and found himself involved in a conflict as ruthless as the one which had given him his first command during the war with France. In an uneasy peace the expansion of trade and colonial development in little-known areas of the East Indies soon pushed aside the pretence and brought the guns´ fury into the open. There was no set line of battle or declared cause to rally Undine´s small company. But the dangers and the endless demands had to be faced by the man who commanded the only King´s ship available.
