Item Description
Ever since man tentatively took to the water, ships have been a vital part of our lives, and have been used as weapons, homes, offices and leisure centers as well as for transporting people and supplies. This superb volume traces every step of the ship's development, from the earliest vessels of papyrus and balsa wood to the aircraft-carriers and ocean liners of modern times. Through its pages we can share the glory of the great naval battles from the Armada to Midway, and the excitement of piracy on the high seas and the China clipper races. Great navigators, warships and weaponry, ship propulsion, commerce and trade, the navies of the world-including those of the United States and Japan-and great sea disasters are all part of its absorbing variety of content.
Containing 465 color and 355 black and white illustrations.
