This review is from: The Development of the Rudder: A Technological Tale (Studies in Nautical Archaeology) (Paperback)
IT IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK ON RUDDERS PARTICULARLY IN THE DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION OF QUARTER RUDDERS. ONLY WISH THAT THE RESEARCH WENT FURTHER BACK AND COVERED THE RUDDER DESIGNS OF THE ARAB DHOWS WHICH THEIR TECHNOLOGY PREDATED ANYTHING DONE IN EUROPE.
