Originally published in 1930, this is a wonderfully detailed look at the history of the Sailing Ship in the nineteenth century. Packed with photos and anecdotes, every major ship and Captain of the day is examined in depth. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: Types of Ships The East Indiamen American Superiority and Atlantic Packets Navigation Laws, Utility Ships Opium and Tea Clippers Rushes To Californian and Australian Gold Fields, Some Fast Passages Wool, Wheat and Emigrant Ships Roaring Forties, Icebergs, Slow and Fast Passages, Etc Disasters, Rescues, Etc Life On A Sailing Ship
