Year: 2003 Language: english Author: Bryan Perrett Genre: History Publisher: Castle Books Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 248 Description: Britain, like other colonial powers, established, controlled and accessed her empire from the seas. It was realised that the preservation of secure trading conditions required armed ships able to operate in shallow coastal and river waters. The gunboat was developed to meet this need: a small, shallow-draft, steam-powered screw or paddle driven vessel, sufficiently fast and manoeuvrable to take the enemy, whether on shore or afloat, by surprise.
