From the Stone Age to the present day, no technology has had a more
profound impact on mankind than watercraft. Boats and ships made
possible the settlement and conquest of new worlds. They determined
the victors of history-changing wars and aided the spread of new
philosophies, technologies and religions. Even today, virtually
everything we purchase and consume depends on seaborne trade.
'Ships that Changed History' is more than just a delight for lovers
of the sea - it's a virtual history of the world told through the
boats and ships that influenced how and where people lived, the
ideas they exchanged and how they won and lost the battles that set
the course of later generations and millennia. Beautifully
illustrated with art and photographs, it is a guide to how men and
women went to sea in every age and place.
Reprint of the original, first published in 1904.
