内容説明
The Pandora was a 24-gun Sixth Rate built at Deptford in 1779. The 20- and 24-gun classes were the smallest regularly commanded by a Post Captain and they were consequently known as post ships; they were also the smallest frigate-built ships on the Navy List. The Pandora is best known for her voyage to Tahiti which was undertaken to bring back the Bounty mutineers. Fourteen of them were captured at Tahiti but four of them were drowned when Pandora ran aground on 29 August 1791 on the Great Barrier Reef on her return journey. The surviving ten were eventually brought back to Portsmouth and court-martialled. Three of them were hung. The site of the wreck was discovered and has been extensively excavated by a team led by Ron Coleman. The 'Anatomy of the Ship' series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details and a record of the ship's service history.
Book Description
The Pandora was a 24gun Sixth Rate built at Deptford in 1779. The 20 and 24gun classes were the smallest regularly commanded by a Post Captain and they were consequently known as post ships; they were also the smallest frigate--built ships on the Navy List. The Pandora is best known for her voyage to Tahiti which was undertaken to bring back the Bounty mutineers. Fourteen of them were captured at Tahiti but four of them were drowned when Pandora ran aground on 29 August 1791 on the Great Barrier Reef on her return journey. The surviving ten were eventually brought back to Portsmouth and court-martialed. Three of them were hung.

best of the series
2005/6/9
形式:ハードカバー
I currently own eight books of the Anatomy of the Ship series and have looked at several others. John McKay's HMS Pandora is the best of the lot. The drawings are beautifully drawn and reproduced and the book is composed in a very intellegent manner. The same comments con be made for Mckay's The Armed Transport Bounty but the Bounty in a less interesting ship.
I found the HMS Pandora an interesting subject because much is known about her and she represents the most minimal ship that could be an at all effective frigate in her era.

A great reference aid for the model shipbuilder!
2006/2/14
形式:ハードカバー
Of the seven books in the Anatomy of the Ship that I own I think the 24-Gun Frigate Pandora is the best. The drawings seem more complete and are of a higher quality than the draughts in the other books I have. Especially nice were the cross section drawings in 1/144 scale and the isometric drawings of the hull (no scale). A real plus for the model builder is the 8 pages of rigging schedule that give cable/rope dimensions along with the size and number of blocks/hearts/deadeyes etc. associated with them for both the standing and running rigging. Very nice! I only wish all of the books in this series were as well done as this one.

Beautifully Detailed, But Beware of the 2010 Reprint
2010/2/16
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I currently own 18 books in Conway's "Anatomy of the Ship" series, and the books by John McKay are among my favorites. I agree with the previous reviewers who stated this book is a must-have for ship modelers and maritime enthusiasts. The amount of detail is simply incredible: from the detailed plans of structural arrangements, cross-sections of the pumps and steering arrangements, to the eight-page "rigging schedule," this is one of the most "complete" studies of an 18th century warship I've ever seen.
Unfortunately, the print quality of the 2010 edition (which I managed to acquire from a seller here) is all over the place. About 15% of the plans and drawings, including intricately detailed ones depicting rigging arrangements, are sloppily reproduced with excessive line thickness. A good chunk of the others are faded and washed out. It's a shame that the work of a draftsman of McKay's caliber has to be presented like this, but the same fate befalls many oft-reprinted naval references. What a shame.
