The Flower Class Corvette "Agassiz"

The Flower class corvette was one of the most famous and numerous of all escort vessels, and the corvette Agassiz is the most representative of the Canadian Flowers, which were thrown into the thick of the bitter Atlantic convoy battles of 1941-2. This is a superb description of the ship and her career. The 'Anatomy of the Ship' series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details and a record of the ship's service history. John McKay is the author of Victory, Bounty and Pandora in the Anatomy of the Ship series, all published by Conway Maritime Press.
