This book is a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the French Navy's unarmored cruisers from 1860 to 1887, tracing their development from the era of sailing frigates, radically transformed by steam and steel, to the advent of the cruiser Sfax, the first armored cruiser in the French Navy and a symbol of progress in shipbuilding. A leading historian of the French Navy from the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries examines in detail the design features, performance characteristics, gunnery, and service of cruisers, analyzing the influence of technological advances and naval doctrine on their design and construction. The author devotes special attention to the French Navy's first armored cruiser, as well as the role of the engineers and admirals who made significant contributions to the development of cruisers under the Third Republic. The publication is illustrated with numerous photographs and drawings.
