Anatomy of the Ship series

The Anatomy of the Ship series of books are comprehensive treatments of the design and construction of individual ships. They have been published by Conway Maritime Press since the 1980s, and republished in the US by the Naval Institute Press.

Each volume begins with a general history of the vessel, as preface to a set of detailed scale drawings showing every part of the interior and exterior, from keel to masthead. Black-and-white photographs and engravings, including of ship models for older types, round out the description.

The ships chosen are a mix of famous vessels, such as HMS "Victory" and "Yamato", and less-famous ships that are well-documented representatives of their class (HMS "Bellona", "Lawhill").{| class="wikitable"
