3.0 out of 5 stars
Nice primer on tall ships,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tall Ships of the World (Paperback)
I found this book to be a nice introduction to the topic of shipboard life. Overall, the book gives the feeling that you are sitting with an old salt discussing sailing. In many instances, drawings in the book have been made from photographs or museum pieces, I would have preferred to see the detail of the photograph rather than a simpler and less accurate drawing. It has some facts on ship life and fittings that I have found no where else, however, it left me wanting more than it could provide. For those interested in finding out a little about the topic (those looking for a primer) this is a nice book with interesting drawings and anecdotal references. For those of a more serious bent, the book will not entirely satisfy.
