Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardcover. Beautifully illustrated, readable accounts of pivotal ships spanning nearly 1500 years of history around the world 'Ships To Remember' is a beautifully illustrated collection of stories about remarkable ships. Some are famous, but many, like the tugs, Yelcho, Foundation Franklin and Turmoil are virtually unknown. The book includes two boats, the Bounty's launch and the James Caird, which completed two of the most extraordinary voyages in maritime history, but all of the vessels had interesting and dramatic careers and were involved in many major historical incidents. They include the catastrophic sinking and eventual recovery of the Vasa, Nelson's triumph at the Battle of Copenhagen, Darwin's epochal voyage on HMS Beagle, and pivotal Second World War relief of Malta by the tanker, Ohio.
