HMS Captain / Arthur Hawkey

United Kingdom : G. Bell and Sons, 1963

Hardback

In HMS Captain, Arthur Hawkey recounts, in terms readily intelligible to the layman, the history of an early ironclad of revolutionary design. The technical problems that she was intended to solve excited extensive public debate at the time, the fire of which is vividly recaptured in these pages. Some four months after commissioning she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic. There were only eighteen survivors from a complement of over five hundred.
