Lionel Casson's encyclopedic study is the first of its kind to
use underwater archaeological data to refine and area of
scholarship that had, for the most part, relied on ancient texts
and graphic representations. Tracing the history of early ships and
seamanship from pre-dynastic Egypt to the Roman empire, from skiffs
and barges to huge oared warships and royal yachts, Casson
describes not only the ships themselves, but also the make-up and
training of the crews, placement of weaponry, how cargo was stored,
methods of navigation, harbor facilities, and the ways ships were
named.
