Basil Greenhill, Director of the National Maritime Museum, collates the available evidence on the evolution of boat and shipbuilding through the ages and examines it as a part of the development of changing civilizations, and not just as a catalogue of the world's major boat finds. The book covers the four main roots of boatbuilding -- the raft, the skin boat, the bark boat and the dugout -- and traces the evolution of each type with particualr reference to Europe and North America. . ."
