DescriptionUpon its mid-nineteenth-century publication, this book became the Bible of U.S. sailors. Its no-nonsense prose gives specific instructions for every aspect of sailing the great ships of the time from knotting and rigging, blacking the guns, and stationing the crew to dealing with the direst emergencies. Enhanced with 70 rare engravings, a glossary of sea terms, and 100 pages of useful tables, this hard-to-find volume is a genuine maritime classic and an unparalleled glimpse into the realities of shipboard life in the days of sail.Author: BradyVAT: NoMinimum Order Quantity: 0
