Product details

Did your son read the entire Great Battles for Boys series? Does he want more books like that—and do you want to strengthen his reading skills even further? The Boys Book of Sea Fights is that book.

Originally published in 1919, The Boys Book of Sea Fights is a thrilling collection of naval battles and fascinating biographies. It's also a historical treasure, written in the same engaging style as Great Battles for Boys but for more advanced readers—or for boys who want to become advanced readers.
This edition of the book, lightly edited for modern readers by Joe Giorello and with additional historical images, remains faithful to the original text which was preserved for decades by librarians who recognized its worth.
Volume 1 ends with the age of sail, while Volume 2 begins with modern naval warfare and the introduction of those fearsome heavily-armed battleships known as Dreadnoughts.
Among the amazing clashes at sea are:
  • The Monitor versus The Merrimac
  • Admiral David Farragut's many victories
  • Dewey's famous battle at Manila Bay
  • The Battle of Jutland Bank
  • And much more!
If your son devoured the Great Battles for Boys series, he will be captivated by The Boys Book of Sea Fights —and further expand his knowledge of history, while also strengthening his reading skills.
Chelsea Curtis Fraser (1876-1954) was a Canadian-born historian and author. He wrote many popular books for boys during his lifetime, particularly about military battles and heroic historical figures. Joe Giorello is author of the bestselling Great Battles for Boys series.
