Specificatii
Master seaman, shipbuilder, and nautical chronicler Charles G.
Davis here charts an anecdotal, highly personal course through our
rich nautical history. Written in a style both entertaining and
informal through which bubbles a genuine love of sailing vessels
and sea lore, American Sailing Ships evokes the very feel of salt
spray and rolling decks.In nearly 140 photographs, prints, and
plans (most drawn by the author, an accomplished marine architect),
you'll find a first-rate cross-section of a wide range of sailing
ships from the eighteenth through early twentieth centuries. Here
too is knowledgeable discussion of ship size, design, proportion,
rigging details, and more. Included are Block Islanders, Clippers,
Quoddy Boats, Packet Ships, Chebacco Boats, Bugeyes, Pinkys, Oyster
Luggers, Fishing Schooners, Frigates, and others.American Sailing
Ships offers lively discourse on shipbuilders such as 18th-century
American designer Joshua Humphreys, whose frigates had no equal
among the sailing men-of-war of any other nation; illuminating
insights regarding crews, chains of command and life at sea; an
account of how the Gloucester-built chebacco boat Fame earned the
right to that name as a privateer during the War of 1812,
outsailing and capturing vessels ten times its weight; and much
more.Davis's classic work is sure to intrigue sailing enthusiasts,
historians, Americana buffs, and model builders. American Sailing
Ships, here in its first popularly priced paperback edition,
promises the imaginative reader an unforgettable taste of seafaring
excitement.
