Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sailing Ships: The Story of Their Development From the Earliest Times to the Present Day This history of sailing ships has been written primarily for the general reader, in the hope that the sons and daughters of a naval nation, and of an Empire that stretches beyond the seas, may find therein a record of some interest and assistance in enlarging and systematising their ideas on the subject, especially as regards the ships of earlier centuries. It is not necessary to look far - no further than the poster-designs on advertisement-hoardings - to observe the errors into which our artists of to-day are liable to fall owing to lack of historical knowledge in this subject; and to put (for instance) triangular headsails with a rectangular sail on the "bonaventure mizzen-mast" of an early sixteenth-century ship, is an inaccuracy scarcely to be pardoned.
