The author of this volume, Peter Goodwin, who is recognized expert, performed a thorough research work which gave a truly perfect result - his publication starts with some necessary historical info on the development of the ship, followed by technical data on the construction, decoration and general layout, steering arrangements, armament, ground tackle and pumps, standing and running rigging of the ship, sails arrangement, mats and spars, boats. This interesting publication belongs to the world famous and popular "Anatomy of the Ship" series of books, which was released by the US Naval Institute to provide the naval history enthusiasts, ship model makers, naval architects and everyone who likes the sea and the ships, with the technical details and supporting illustrating materials relating to the construction and inner arrangement of historical vessels. This is a real treasure for any naval historian and model maker - in fact, to every person who likes the sea and whatever is related to it. That is not surprising, taking into consideration the completeness of the drawings, including 1/144-scaled cross-section and even isometric drawings providing full picture of the ship and making it very easy to build a model. It shall be noted that in the opinion of some of the reviewers of this book, it is the best and stand-out one in the whole AOTS collection. There are so many detailed technical drawings, sketches and even paint schemes depicting the construction of internal and external hulls of the vessel, her general arrangement, armament, fittings, masts and yards, sails and rigging, etc. The book is pretty full of the very valuable info related to the design and newbuilding process, construction of the ship - in particular, hull construction, copper sheathing and fastening, pumps, armament, galley stove and still, boats, decoration, sweeps, oars, steering system, anchors and cables, yards, masts and rigging. In their book John McKay and Ron Coleman joined their efforts to familiarize readers with the world famous frigate Pandora. One more pearl of the Conway's Anatomy of the Ship series.
