Description

Introduction by Donald L. Canney. James Phinney Baxter’s landmark study, initially published in 1933, was once the first complete, fully researched history of the ascendance of the ironclads. One of the more notable ships highlighted in this text are the united statesPrinceton, USS Monitor, USS Merrimack, the HMS Warrior, HMS Achilles and the CSS Virginia. The usage of U.S. and British sources, the writer broke new ground by relating all the development of these unique ships, including revolutions in naval ordnance, propulsion technology, and ship construction. In spite of the passage of nearly seventy years, this volume remains the usual text at the subject. Commenting that Baxter’s work has stood the test of time, historian Donald Canney introduces the book by pointing out that no serious study on ironclads can proceed without Baxter as an authoritative underpinning.
