Noticed a copy of one of the Anatomy of a Ship series, the Bellona the 74 gun ship.
The guy selling it is posting UK only, so no good to me or a lot of us but maybe one or two might be interested. Bids at 5.50 currently.
Bellona on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ANATOMY-SHIP-BOOK-BELLONA-SAILING-NAPOLEONIC-WAR-NAVY_W0QQitemZ270001392515QQihZ017QQcategoryZ64304 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).
Don't make a habit of this sort of thing but its a specialist ship modellers' book at a great price so far, so thought it was worth mentioning.

I misread what he meant re shipping.
It's not my kind of boat but its great reference.
I've got the book on the Fairmile D torpedo boats and have been looking for the Victorious for a while. Just thought one of the ship of the line period guys might want to know it was selling.

The Bellona book is absolutely fabulously detailed. It is the best reference I am ever likely to find for building a ship. Get it if you can! The book for the Victory is also good but it misses a couple of essential diagrams.
