Reseña del editor

Originally published in 1867, this early works on boats is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. This is a fascinating read for any boat enthusiast or historian. This illustrated works includes Chapters on Ship building, Sails and Masts and The Royal Navy to name but a few. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original artwork and text.
