Section of a First Rate Ship of War. C017 / 3432
Plate from 18th century encyclopedia showing a stem to stern section of a first rate ship of the line. A ship of the line was a type of naval warship constructed from the 17th through to the mid-19th century to take part in the naval tactic known as the line of battle, in which two columns of opposing warships would manoeuvre to bring the greatest weight of broadside guns to bear. Since these engagements were almost invariably won by the heaviest ships carrying the most powerful guns, the natural progression was to build sailing vessels that were the largest and most powerful of their time

The image offers a glimpse into the intricate details and grandeur of these naval behemoths that played a crucial role in historical battles. A ship of the line was specifically designed to participate in the line of battle tactic, where opposing warships would maneuver strategically to unleash their broadside guns with maximum impact.
