Publisher's Synopsis

This amply illustrated, nontechnical book traces the evolution of the sailing ship over the course of 6,000 years - from those of ancient Egypt and Crete (4000-1000 B.C.) to the full-rigged clipper ships of the 19th century. The development of northern and southern European vessels is also described. 20 halftones and 134 figures.
