Introduction taken from the book :-

“THIS highly acclaimed series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. It is a radical departure from the usual monograph approach, which concentrates on either the ship's service history, its technical details or external appearance. All of these aspects are included in the 'Anatomy of the Ship', but what makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional 3-view type of plan as

explanatory perspective views with fully descriptive keys. These drawings are accurate, visually exciting and totally comprehensive, offering ship enthusiasts, historians and modelmakers a novel insight into the technicalities of each ship type covered Following a full introduction on the service and design history, each title also includes a photographic section which illustrates the vessel, and subsequent models, in close detail.

Karl Heinz Marquardt is an internationally known modeller who has spent a lifetime researching the era of the sailing ship. He has models in some eleven European museums as well as in Australia where he has lived for over thirty years. While researching this volume, he built a 1/64 scale model of HMS Beagle for the Deutsche Schiffahrtsmuseum.

Marquardt is an accomplished draughtsman and is a regular contributor to the Conway journal Model Shipwright. He has previously written Captain Cook's Endeavour for the Conway Anatomy' series, and is the author and illustrator of the highly praised Eighteenth-Century Rigs and Rigging and Global Schooner.”
