A facsimile edition of Jane's Fighting Ships, 1920, the 23rd edition of the most authoritative source of information about the navies of the world.

First editions of the 1920 edition sell for hundreds of dollars through antiquarian bookstores or are available only at the reference desk of major libraries.




One-hundred-plus pages of advertisements from companies like Thornycroft, Vosper, General Electric, Yarrow, Babcox & Wilson, and many more provide unrivaled flavor of the era and demonstrate the centrality of naval power in daily life. Five-hundred-plus pages of silhouettes, specifications, plans and pictures of every ship of every navy provide the definitive contemporary understanding of the status of the world's navies.
