Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. 8vo 7.75-9.75'' tall. Nice Firm Clean copy! Light general wear. 100 plates + 302 pages. 100 great illustrations. In this book I have endeavoured to portray the sailing ships of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as they appeared in their various forms and types, to bring out the ships rather than their exploits. So it is from the anatomical and not the historical angle that I have compiled this book, in the hope that it may make some little contribution towards filling the gap in our record: of these ships before it is too late.
