Description: War at Sea in the Ironclad Age (Smithsonian History of Warfare). - - - DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:By Richard Hill.Published by Smithsonian Books in 2006. "The nineteenth century saw several major innovations in naval warfare. Reliable steam engines made it so that ships no longer depended on the wind and could maneuver more freely. At the same time, new explosive shells were developed, replacing cannonballs, and no wooden ship could withstand them. In response to these shells, a new class of self-propelled, armored "ironclads" was invented and quickly revolutionized naval warfare".
