"With brilliant colour photographs of each page, Thad Koza's collection of the world's most majestic sailing vessels will undoubtedly take its place in the libraries of ship aficionados. From fighting ships like USS Constitution to the Sedov, a Russian training ship that is the largest sailing vessel afloat, this soft cover includes scantlings and a description for each of (more than) 150 featured ships..." -- Professional Mariner. "This is the first guide of any significance to be produced on the present international fleet of tall ships..." --The Seafarer.

Tall Ships,
By Robert W. Serocke "Munchkin" (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tall Ships: A Fleet for the 21st Century 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
I am happy with the product, however I am not happy with the charges. I bought this book for a friend. When the book came I took the invoice over and got paid. Now my credit card comes with different charges. How can I go to this friend and ask for more money. I did a friend a favor and I got stuck. Thank you very much, Bob
