Uncover the vast saga of American Sea Power since 1775, a compelling hardcover volume penned by members of the prestigious United States Naval Academy. Published in 1947 by J.B. Lippincott Company, this book traces America's naval history from the Revolutionary War.
This 1947 J.B. Lippincott hardcover still has its dust jacket, worn as the photos show, and it belongs on a naval history shelf. If it's the right copy for you, it's ready to come home.
Every item is honestly described and carefully packed. These are vintage pieces, so light age-related wear comes with them. I show and describe what I see so you know what to expect.

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.
Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
