The two main ships and the longboat presented in Viking to Victorian: Exploring the Use of Iron in Ship Building were
built in the early and mid-1860s.
This was a time when things we now take for granted had not yet been invented.
Iron was key to this development. Simple steam engines, iron rail and steamships had been introduced, but
almost all other inventions we now view as old still belonged in the future.
Viking to Victorian is a handsome four-color first edition, printed on art gloss paper.
