Description
Includes well over 100 photos, prints, and plans (most drawn by Davis), there is a cross section of sailing ships from the 18th to 20th centuries. The subtitle "Their Plans and History" is just that... as Davis's historical side gives you information not just about the boats but why they were significant, as well as insights to crew, chain-of-command, and life at sea. Originally published in 1929.
