LOW`S HISTORY of the INDIAN NAVY - Charles Rathbone Low - Bog

Charles Rathbone Low's career as a gentleman author, and representative of the past glories of the Indian Navy started in 1868, this History of the Indian Navy was his magnum opus and one which still has no rivals, published in 1877 - coincidentally the year when the two post-1863 local non-combatant marine services based at Bombay and Calcutta were reorganised as H.M. Indian Marine, eventually the Royal Indian Navy.
This is an extremely rare work, in its original edition, and covers the life span of the Indian Navy, 1600 to 1863. Operations from the Persian Gulf to the Burma and First China Wars, from Aden to New Zealand and the Maori Wars, and the Indian Mutiny. Survey work from the Red Sea to the China Seas.
The Naval & Military Press has added indexes of ships and officers, compiled by Captain Douglas Morris R.N. whose enthusiasm for the Indian Navy - and its medals - was largely responsible for the reissue of Low.
