The Lore of Ships is a distinguished work which comes out of the international cooperation between maritime specialists in Sweden, the United States, Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, Holland, Norway and Germany.
This magnificent volume explains and illustrates all of the significant components of sailing ships, merchantmen, liners - every kind of ship from primitive dugouts to the nuclear warships of the present. It contains more than 1,550 illustrations of diverse nautical details - more than any previous work - in the form of drawings.
The Mayflower, Fultons Clermont, Nelsons Victory, the Golden Hind, and many more famous vessels appear, some with details, some as full replicas. While nautical enthusiasts will enjoy perusing this volume, they will also use it as a comprehensive illustrated glossary. Every sailor will want the definitive lists of ships carpenters tools, types of anchors, house flags, "rules of the road," loadlines and draft lines, rigging, hatches, sails, masts - the thousands of items appearing in the text and illustrations.
Unparalleled in the scope of its material, the authenticity of its information and the beauty of its design, this incomparable work is the perfect gift for all seafarers from the dinghy-owner to the yachtsman. It will be prized as well by any armchair mariner who has ever fallen under the romantic lure of ships.
