War At Sea in the Ironclad Age : Cassell History of Warfare / Richard Hill

United Kingdom : Cassell & Co., 2002

Paperback

The most dramatic product of the military-industrial revolution was the steam-powered warship. In the mid nineteenth century the major naval powers began to revolutionize their navies, dispensing with wood, sail and cannonballs and embracing steel, steam and shells. At the height of the Victorian era, it was the ironclad warship that made it possible for colonial powers to acquire and control their overseas empires.
