Dundurn Press is thrilled to announce that Warriors and Warships by Robert D. Banks has been named the winner of the Keith Matthews Best Book Award! The award is given by the Canadian Nautical Research Society for the best book published on a Canadian nautical or maritime subject. Congratulations Robert!
Warriors and Warships brings to life a much neglected part of Canada’s military history, covering the warships and the people who built them at Point Frederick from the late eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. Opposite Kingston, Point Frederick was the 1789 dockyard home of the Provincial Marine on Lake Ontario and the headquarters of Britain’s Royal Navy from 1813 to 1853. Today, it is the home of the Royal Military College of Canada.
