For the first time, in this book theprecise details of these developments are set out, wherever possible with exact information on sizes and scantlings based on reliable contemporary sources. This makes the book an indispensible guide to all historical ship modellers, but it also provides a wider analysis of technological development which will be of great value to maritime historians and industrial archaeologists. This book charts the developments, wherever possible based on reliable contemporary sources. The book now completes the detailed technical coverage of the wooden ship begun with James Lee's Masting and Rigging and Peter Goodwin's Sailing Man of War. Texte en anglais
