    Author:
    Sam Willis

    978-1-60598-124-6
    Category:
    Biography
    Format:
    Paperback and Hardback
    Summary:
    The author interweaves the stories of three lives – the French ship captured and successfully used by the British, the English-built ship named for its predecessor, and the painting that captures the passing of the ship’s service to her country. Throughout the narrative, we learn about the Temeraire’s actions in battle, the captains and crews that sailed her, and the history and events of her lifetime. Though about a ship, The Fighting Temeraire is an engaging biography from the age of sail.
