Man-Of-War - Softcover
Reseña del editor:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The man-of-war (also man of war, man-o''-war or simply man) was the most powerful type of armed ship from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The term often refers to a ship armed with cannon and propelled primarily by sails, as opposed to a galley which is propelled primarily by oars. The man-of-war was developed in England in the early 17th century from earlier roundships with the addition of a second mast to form the carrack (a type of ship used by the English in the 16th century). The 16th century saw the carrack evolve into the galleon and then the ship of the line. The man-of-war was developed in England in the 17th century. It derived from the carrack ship design, which ultimately derived from the caravel. The caravel was a type of ship invented for trading and transporting goods to colonies and settlements. It was a coastal vessel that rarely went out to sea.
