The Sail and Steam Navy List
- The Sail and Steam Navy List
:"For a list of ships of the Royal Navy, see List of Royal Navy ships."The Sail and Steam Navy List, All the Ships of the Royal Navy 1815–1889" by Rif Winfield and David Lyon is a historical reference work providing details of all recorded ships in commission in the Royal Navy from 1815 to 1889. Where available, it gives the location of construction, date of keel laying, launch and commissioning, tonnage, armament, machinery and fate of every ship of the Royal Navy over the period.
David Lyon's "The Sailing Navy List: All the Ships of the Royal Navy, Built, Purchased and Captured, 1688-1860" was published in 1993, a ground-breaking study of the sailing vessels of the Royal Navy from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 until the close of the Age of Sail. He planned a follow-up on the ships of the Royal Navy in the era of transition from sail to steam power, and began work in preparation for that volume. Sadly, this was cut short by his death in a diving accident during 2000 in the Bahamas (he was an enthusiastic underwater archaeologist).Shortly after his death, his colleague Rif Winfield, author of the best-selling "Fifty Gun Ship", took over David's accumulated notes, added them to his own extensive research on Royal Naval warships, and carried on this work to produce what the "Journal for Maritime Research" described as
The book is a valuable reference work for ships of the Late Georgian era and Victorian Royal Navy.
