Architect, artist, author, historian, scholar - few have achieved the level of recognition in so many fields as Scottish born Ian Marshall. His fluid watercolors need no introduction to fans of 19th and early 20th century naval and aviation history. They have been featured in four celebrated volumes authored by him: British Capital Ships, Armored Ships, Passage East and Flying Boats-the J-class Yachts of Aviation. Marshall’s paintings can be found in the collections of Lloyd’s of London, the Naval Museums at Annapolis Maryland and Portsmouth, England, National Museum Botswana, Maine Maritime Museum and Mystic Seaport Museum.

Over the past two years he’s completed 51 paintings and the accompanying text which will become his newest volume Cruisers and Hunting Warfare, La Guerre de Course scheduled for publication in 2006. It concentrates on the evolution of the smaller class of ships that were built and operated between the American Civil War 1861-1865 and World War I, not for battle, but to hunt and destroy enemy merchant ships and supply lines.
