{"product_id":"9781848320956","title":"HMS Warrior - Ironclad","description":"\u003cp\u003eHMS Warrior, launched in 1860, was the first iron-hulled, sea-going armored ship, and for many years was the most powerful warship in the world. Rescued a century later from her role as a refueling hulk, she became the object of the most ambitious ship restoration project ever mounted and is now afloat and open to visitors at Portsmouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs is the case for many historic ships, however, there is a surprising shortage of informative and well illustrated guides, for reference during a visit or for research by enthusiasts – ship modelers, naval buffs, technical historians or students. This new series redresses the gap. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by experts and containing more than 200 specially commissioned photographs, each title takes the reader on a superbly illustrated tour of the ship, deck by deck. Significant parts of the vessel – for example, the steering gear, armament and armor, engine-room and gundeck – are given detailed coverage so that the reader has at hand the most complete visual record and explanation of the ship that is at present available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the importance of the ship, both in her own time and now as a museum vessel, is explained, while her design and build, her service career and her life prior to restoration and exhibition are all described.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Seaforth Historic Ship Series is a truly groundbreaking concept, bringing the ships of our past vividly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seaforth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039260197104,"sku":"9781848320956","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848320956_p0.jpg?v=1763750600","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848320956","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
