Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Jonathan R. Dull Genre: History Publisher: University of Nebraska Press ISBN: 978-0-8032-1930-4 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 268 Description: For nearly two hundred years huge wooden warships called “ships of the line” dominated war at sea and were thus instrumental in the European struggle for power and the spread of imperialism. Foremost among the great naval powers were Great Britain and France, whose advanced economies could support large numbers of these expensive ships.
