Another John McKay masterpiece

This is the third book with John McKay's drawings that I have that I find indespensible when working with models of these ships. I have two copies of "The 100 Gun Ship Victory" because one was damaged when building a model of the Victory and had to be replaced. The detail is unrivalled and I like these books because everything you need is in front of you saving hours of reserch. I have many other books on ships and history of this period and I find no fault with this one at all and recommend it to any one with an interest or a period ship modeler.

Made eternally famous by the mutiny against Captain Bligh in 1789, Bounty was a small merchant ship purchased and converted into a naval transport to transplant breadfruit to the plantations of the West Indies. Thanks to good surviving documentation, this book can depict the ship when purchased as the mercantile Bethia and also as fitted out for her unusual naval employment.

This revised edition features accurate, visually exciting and totally comprehensive drawings. In addition to these, a colour representation of Bounty on the jacket provides a useful painting guide, on the back of which is a beautifully folded large scale plan of the ship.

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.

John McKay is an architectural draughtsman who lives in Vancouver on the Pacific coast of Canada. He is also a ship enthusiast and modelmaker who has turned his professional skill to good use in the service of his hobby.
