Description
A history of the Blackwall class frigates from 1611 to 1903. These ships formed a connecting link between the lordly East Indiamen of the Honourable John Company and the magnificent P&O and Oriental liners of the present day. They were first-class well-run ships and the sailor who started his sea life aboard a Blackwaller looked back on his time as the happiest period of his career. The illustrations are of value because old lithographs which, many years ago, could be seen in every office and picture seller's window are fast becoming scarcer; also because the photographs are taken from prints, the negatives of which, in most cases have long been lost.
