Yachting's Golden Age,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yachting's Golden Age: 1880-1905 (Hardcover)
A collector's item for those who love the history of yachting and beautiful ships. Ship photography is outstanding and gives detailed history of many famous individually owned yachts. One of the best collections of yachting history and photograpy I have found published. I was able to trace the history and a picture of a model ship I own, which is a replica of one of J.P.Morgan's fleet of yachts. I looked for a long time for a yachting book with this much information. A wonderful gift for the collector!

This review is from: Yachting's Golden Age: 1880-1905 (Hardcover)
A collection of some of the most beautiful photos of sail craft ever presented. I leave this book out so people will browse it while waiting. They invariably comment emotionally about these yachts, whether they know nothing about sailing or are sea captains. Its history, its engineering, its natural materials, its shape, its a dance with nature, and its about how all of these come together to create some truly amazing works of usable art. This book is a friend.
