Jean Boudriot

Post by pipester on Tue 10 Nov 2009, 00:03

The HMS Surprise discussion reminded me of Jean Boudriot's masterpiece, Le vaisseau de 74 canons. This 4 (oversize) volume work details every aspect of the construction, rigging and operation of a 74. I believe it is available in English, but I'm not sure. Look here to get an idea of this wonderful (if expensive) book:
