It is rare for this reviewer to describe a volume as being a ‘Labour of love’, yet that is what this volume is, the author having put an incredible amount of effort into writing what should deservedly become a Standard Reference Work on its subject.

This book is a worthy addition to Friedman's acclaimed series of warship studies.
Model Boats, September 2018 – reviewed by John Deamer

For all our readers who have been following the latest superb series published in these pages by William Mowll, this volume is evidently an essential follow up. The excellent series of articles he has contributed to our magazine over the past years have been much appreciated by many modelers for the very high level of craftsmanship he has achieved in building the subject ships and in bringing to the fore advanced techniques in many aspects of their construction... ...This a book that will be appreciated by scale modelers of any standard, and also by anyone interested in the warships of the later Victorian period. It is a must for those of our readers who have enjoyed Will’s publications in our pages here.

The Trafalgar Chronicle, the yearbook of The 1805 Club, has established itself as a prime source of information for new research about the Georgian navy. Successive editors have widened the scope to include all sailing navies of the period. Each volume is themed, and this edition looks at the Royal Marines and the U.S. Marine Corps. Sixteen contributions from recognised authorities around the world make this a compelling read.
