Description

This website comprises an annotated bibliography relating to nineteenth century torpedoes and torpedo warfare. Key topics include fast steam launches, torpedo boats, nineteenth century shipbuilders and marine engineers.

Abstract

This database started life as a small collection of references on fast steam launches and torpedo boats. As time progressed it assumed a life of its own and I found that maintaining it became increasingly difficult. What was a simple "Word" document containing a few hundred references had evolved into a collection of over three thousand abstracts of articles gathered from a range of nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century publications, some of which were only available in specialist collections.
