About This Item
Woodman, a mariner, novelist, former navigating officer and commander in the Blue Funnel and Glen Lines, and historian (Arctic Convoys 1941-1945, Trafalgar, 1996), has compiled a history of ships that will appeal to all sailors, would-be sailors, and anyone who has enjoyed a cruise on the Staten Island Ferry. The history of ships from tree-trunk canoes to clipper ships, battleships, aircraft carriers, and supertankers is intertwined with a discussion illustrating the prevailing technical, social, and economic conditions related to the development of ships. Profusely illustrated with more than 250 watercolors, frescoes, and ship's plans, this scholarly work will delight both specialists and amateurs
