Dutch Guns in Russia by E. A. Jablonskaja,Howard L. Blackmore,Majja N. Larčenko,Arne Hoff,Henk L. Visser Pdf

A considerable proportion of the weapons collected by the Tsars and nobility of Russia over the centuries consists of Dutch firearms of the 17th and 18th centuries. Many of them evince not only an advanced technique, but also exceptionally beautiful decoration. This catalogue offers the first scientific treatment and classification of almost 320 of these Dutch firearms of the 17th and 18th centuries in the collections of the Moscow Kremlin Armoury, the Moscow Historical Museum, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersberg and the Gatchina Palace Museum near St. Petersburg. That Dutch firearms in particular are so well represented in Russian collections illustrates the strong political and economical relations of Russia and the Dutch Republic in this period. They were collected from different sources, mainly as a result of the large-scale trade in military firearms between the Dutch Republic and the Tsars of Russia and from ambassadorial and merchant's gifts. The result of this important and heretofore neglected part of the Dutch history is now available for scholars as well as to the general public. --From dust jacket.

Russia and the Dutch Republic, 1566–1725 by Kees Boterbloem Pdf

Russia and the Dutch Republic, 1566–1725: A Forgotten Friendship outlines how the Netherlands had an outsized impact on the early development of Russia into a Great Power in the course of the seventeenth century. Although this influence is usually associated with Peter the Great’s reign, the author argues that much of it predates Peter’s accession to the tsarist throne. Kees Boterbloem explores the origins and development of the narrow ties the United Provinces (Dutch Republic) and the Russian Empire maintained in the early modern age, weighing their political, military, economic, and cultural significance for world history.

French Warships in the Age of Sail, 1786–1861 by Rif Winfield,Stephen S Roberts Pdf

In 1786 the French Navy had just emerged from its most successful war of the eighteenth century, having frequently outfought or outmanoeuvred the Royal Navy in battle, and made a major contribution to American independence. The reputation of its ship design and fighting skills never stood higher, yet within a few years the effects of the French Revolution had devastated its efficiency, leading to defeat after defeat. Fine ships continued to be built, but even under Napoleon's dynamic influence the navy never recovered sufficiently to alter the balance of sea power. It was only after 1815 that the navy revived, espousing technical innovation and invention, to produce some of the most advanced ships of the age.This book is the first comprehensive listing of these ships in English, and follows the pattern set by the companion series on British warships in the age of sail in providing an impressive depth of information. It is organised by Rate, classification and class, with significant technical and building data, followed by a concise summary of the careers of each ship in every class. Thus for the first time it is possible to form a clear picture of the overall development of French warships in the latter half of the sailing era.

Russian Warships in the Age of Sail 1696–1860 by Eduard Sozaev,John Tredrea Pdf

Peter the Great created a navy from nothing, but it challenged and soon surpassed Sweden as the Baltic naval power, while in the Black Sea it became an essential tool in driving back the Ottoman Turks from the heartland of Europe. In battle it was surprisingly successful, and at times in the eighteenth century was the third largest navy in the world - yet its history, and especially its ships, are virtually unrecorded in the West.This major new reference work handsomely fills this gap, with a complete and comprehensive list of the fleet, with technical detail and career highlights for every ship, down to small craft. However, because the subject is so little recorded in English, the book also provides substantial background material on the organisation and administration of the navy, its weapons, personnel and shipbuilding facilities, as well as an outline of Russias naval campaigns down to the clash with Britain and France known as the Crimean War.Illustrated with plans, paintings and prints rarely seen outside Russia, it is authoritative, reliable and comprehensive, the culmination of a long collaboration between a Russian naval historian and an American ship enthusiast.EDUARD SOZAEV is an established Russian naval historian with a number of books to his credit. JOHN TREDREA, his translator, editor and long-term collaborator, is an American ship enthusiast with a life-long interest in the Russian navy.
