Ships of the World
by Lincoln P. Paine

Ships have always played an important role in shaping human destiny. Ships of the World is a comprehensive encyclopedia covering more than one thousand of the world's most significant vessels. Each ship is described in a short essay that captures its personality, physical charcteristics, construction, and history. Fictional ships and boats, such as the African Queen are also included. Illustrations show the grandeur and grace of oceangoing vessels, maps follow the tracks of the great seafarers and naval campaigns, and time lines offer a chronological perspective on archaeological sites, naval warfare, technology, exploration, and disasters at sea.

Hardcover 704 pages - 8" x 10" - (11/97)
