He was a keen sailor, and his wife's accounts of their many voyages (also reissued in this series) were bestsellers. He subsequently became a Lord of the Admiralty and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Brassey's Naval Annual was for many years the authoritative survey of worldwide navies. This five-volume survey of the state of the British Navy was published between 1882 and 1883. Brassey was much involved with questions of the modernisation and reform of the Navy, at a time when international relations were marked by a maritime arms race. The books provide much technical detail about the different types of ship and weapons available to the Navy. Volume 5 (originally published in 1877 as British Seamen) discusses the merchant navy and the training of seamen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47603414859927,"sku":"9781108024693","price":4369.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781108024693.webp?v=1775015467","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-british-navy-volume-5-9781108024693","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
