Nautical Illustrations - A Pictorial Archive from Nineteenth-Century Sources (Paperback)

This impressive addition to Dover's extensive list of Pictorial Archive titles depicts an exciting panorama of seagoing vessels and marine-related objects--from sailors' knots and splices to an Egyptian barge, from canon and other ships' artillery to a sixteenth-century man-of-war used by Henry VIII. A permission-free source of nautical illustrations and motifs, the collection is also a magnificent record of the development of sea power and a handy guide to nautical equipment. Detailed images--taken from rare sources--depict primitive canoes, a Roman galley, ship figureheads, naval battles, dock scenes, lighthouses, pirate ships, steam-powered battleships, and a wealth of other subjects. Brief captions identify pictures, which are arranged chronologically. An excellent reference for model shipbuilders and maritime historians as well, this handsomely illustrated volume will also be irresistible to boating enthusiasts and armchair sailors. Dover Original. Over 600 black-and-white illustrations.
