NAVAL EDGED WEAPONS: In the Age of Fighting Sail 1775-1865

Rather than the more familiar gunnery, this book features the swords, cutlasses, axes and pikes used in naval warfare in the golden age of sail. profusely illustrated.

The particular needs of naval close-quarter combat produced distinctive versions of axes, pikes and cutlasses (not to mention the great variety of officers' fighting, presentation and dress swords) and this book surveys in full detail the whole gamut of such weapons. It focuses on arms used in the Royal Navy and the new naval service of the United States, from the outbreak of the American Revolution to the end of the US Civil War.Using surviving examples, artefacts recovered by archaelogy, and documentary sources, the book devotes individual chapters to each weapon type.Heavily illustrated with examples from Europe and America, Naval Edged Weapons is an accessible introduction for the general reader, but also provides a useful overview for the specialist.
