" 'Ship' brings together 360 of the most celebrated ships in history and fiction in one stylishly produced volume. Each has its unique tale to tell, the dramatic stories immortalized in evocative artworks or documented in startling photography. Themes include exploration and scientific discovery, mutiny and piracy; shipwreck, cannibalism and survival. Ships that excelled in battle or were lost in devastating circumstances are represented, along with those that heralded revolutionary developments in maritime and naval architecture. International in scope, the book uses a signature image of each ship as a starting point with explanatory text from experts in the fields of sailing warships, battleships, ancient and medieval vessels, expeditionary ships, liners and famous literary ships. While each has a fascinating story to tell, together they make up not just a history of the ship, but also of human progress, imagination and tragedy."(Einbandtext).

By this time the English people had no wish for this kind of war, and the naval part of the campaign was not particularly successful. England made a separate peace in 1674, though the land war between France and the Netherlands continued until 1678. The Dutch succeeded in retaining their indepen dence, but at great cost. After the power of France revived under Louis XIV, they had to look continually at the possibility of an invasion by land, and their days as a great sea power were over. Furthermore, warships were increasing in size, and Dutch harbours and coastal waters were too shallow to allow them to build bigger ships.…
