Book Details
First Sentence
"FROM the point of view of a naval seaman it was a far cry from the first war in defence of the nation's life to the last one-so far, indeed, that all the progress made in the construction of ships of war from the time when men first went afloat to fight, down to the war of the Revolution, had not equalled that made in the eighty odd years that elapsed between, say, the battle of Lake Champlain, which was the most important battle afloat in the Revolution, and that of Hampton Roads, which was first in the Civil War."
