Navy History and Tradition #[1817-1865]

"Navy Under Sail And Steam" offers a compelling look at naval innovation through the life of Maury, a figure shaped by a stagecoach accident that led to shore duty. Written by Theodore Roscoe and brought to life with meticulous detail by Stokes Walesby—handling pencils, inks, and colors—this 1959 issue traces Maury’s pivotal role in advancing navigation, hydrography, and wartime technology, from the early days of sail to the era of steam and the trans-Atlantic cable. The cover by Stokes Walesby captures the era’s spirit with a striking, period-accurate design.
