[Erin · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent, detailed book about sailing ships. It is also physically very well put together, has a remarkably good hand feel while reading. Overall, a delight.

A lesser format than the original "The ship", it has some later research information but the bigger original is much better and is to be preferred.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

A directory of sailing ships including clippers, brigs, and schooners. Good drawings.
