"This is the first book-length study devoted to the vessels of the Confederate Navy, including all types used during the conflict: ironclads (both domestic and foreign-built), commerce raiders, blockade runners, riverine and ocean-going gunboats, torpedo and submersible vessels, and floating batteries. The book emphasizes the development, construction, and design of these vessels using, where available, original plans, photographs, and contemporary descriptions. The author describes these vessels in context with wartime conditions as well as with the transitional naval technology of the era. Over 100 vessels are detailed, including more than 30 ironclads, both American and foreign built. Over 150 illustrations are included, many of which have not previously been published. Also included is a section on steam engine technology of the era." See here link Amicalement Armand |

Looks new to me. I guess we'll find out later next year. |

This is a new work,,,,not a reprint. Donald Canney is best known for his excellent two-volume work, The Old Steam Navy (US Navy and Union) from years ago and another on the Coast Guard. If this new work is anywhere close to the quality and information base of his former works I predict this will be an instant 'must have' book. But it is unfortunately going to be a long wait – Sep 2015!!!! Toby Barrett |

The Old Steam Navy is so…old, I assumed the Canney was no longer writing. Turns out I could not be more wrong. I'll be looking forward to this as a supplement to my copy of Still's Iron Afloat. |
