Subject: Re: [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] Lloyd's List: A new book reviewed.

John,

Thank you very  much for that.
I look forward to Richard Woodman's later volumes,  particularly if  
they are
as well researched as N.A.M. Rodger's monumental 3 volume series on the
Naval History of Briton.  Not just the military side - and the first two
volumes are already published ,  awaiting the final volume - they take  
about
7 years each.

If too impatient for the final volume of Richard's series,  you might  
find
the small book on the final decline of the once great Merchant Navy  
somewhat
depressing,  but it does show what happened to those famous British  
shipping
companys which are no longer heard of:
'Grey Dawn Breaking'  by Tony Lane
Manchester University Press  1986
ISBN  0 7190 1876 5

For anyone interested in the nautical history of the Indian ocean,   
another
excellent book is 'a history of the Indian Ocean and it's invaders'
entitled
'Empires of the Monsoon'  by Richard Hall
Collins 1996
ISBN 0 00 21 5971 6

Free subscription to Lloyd's List is also well worth having.  Today's
edition talks about anti-piracy sonic devices ...
What would Morgan have said?
