  Part of a series that looks at a ship or sailing vessel at important periods in history through the eyes of the people who lived on board. This book focuses on the all-big-gun warship, the Dreadnought battleship, the first warship to use turbine engines and oil fuel as well as coal, and faster and harder-hitting than any warship that had ever sailed the sea. The book vividly captures life aboard these massive warships in peace as well as in war, with colour artwork supplemented by contemporary photographs.
