By the end of Queen Victoria’s reign wooden sailing vessels of the type that fought the Battle of Trafalgar had been superseded by steam-powered, iron-clad battleships. What remained unchanged was Britain’s dominance of the seas. This illustrated history follows the technical innovations in shipbuilding, the replacement of small muzzle-loading cannon with massive guns firing explosive shells, Admiralty strategy, and the arms race with the French.
