The French and Spanish systems developed on similar lines, while those of the Baltic navies tended to rely on smaller craft and weapons.

This first of three titl...

The three conditions embrace about all there is in life worth knowing. A surface thinker might deem that wealth should be added to the list. Not so. When a poor man finds a long-hidden quarter-dollar that has slipped through a rip into his vest lining, he s...
