Just reprinted from a limited edition printing done in 1924 that was recently unearthed in a private library, this book analyzes scores of highly detailed ship models and provides documentation about the circumstances of their making. In nearly every case, the models represent full scale models of historically significant sailing ships and the background of those vessels is recounted as well. In analyzing the model, the author goes into great detail explaining the workings of the ships themselves. This new book is sure to delight ship-model enthusiasts, armchair sailors, naval historians and any lover of the proud sailing ships of long ago.
