From Baird Maritime
'Warrior' was a breakthrough ship, the most advanced and powerful warship of her time. Many of the innovations she incorporated became the naval norm for the half century following her launching in 1860.
This big, beautiful book in the normal top quality Conway style describes this very important ship admirably. Their efforts combined with those of a fastidious author and excellent photographers have created a work of art.
The major advances of a single screw, steam powered, iron-hulled, heavily armoured ship were only a few of the huge leaps forward that this ship represented. It also had breech loading, rifled guns and comparatively salubrious accommodations.
A brilliant description.
