Written in 1908 by Michael Oppenheim, the distinguished naval historian, for the Victorian History of Devonshire, this account has not been previously published as the volume for which it was intended was never completed. Based mainly on the national archives with which Oppenheim had an intimate acquaintance, this account emphasises the place of the county of Devon in naval history.For all those interested in the history of Devon or more generally in English maritime history, this book will prove a valuable and rewarding acquisition.
