This book contains detailed descriptions of all 26 ships that Nelson served on or commanded. Included are details of construction of each ship, how many acres of trees were cut to supply the wood, length of construction, service history, all the captains that served, and final disposition,Some full page paintings of the various ships are included.
Three weeks after I bought this book, I found a very detailed wooden ship model of the "Superbe" a French 74-gun ship of the line in an antique shop at a bargain price, and after that I began finding other books on maritime history.
