Beken of Cowes: Sailing Ships of the World

by Erik Abranson

A superb book which brings alive over 100 of the world's finest sailing ships with photographs taken by the three generations of the Beken family. This volume gathers sailing ship pictures from Hawaii, the USA, Germany, Russia, the Caribbean, the Solent and the Mediterranean and covers vessels from cadet training ships to large luxury charter yachts, from the world's largest, the Russian Sedov, to perhaps the smallest, the brigantine yacht Black Pearl. Full specifications of all the ships are included.
