'Ships & Ways of Other Days' is a fascinating journey through the history of seafaring, from the earliest recorded times to the present day. E. Keble Chatterton traces the evolution of the ship and its rigging, and explores the challenges and triumphs of building, launching, and equipping vessels in different eras. He takes us on board with sailors as they set sail on long voyages to wage war, discover new lands, and open up trade routes. We witness how they navigated the high seas without the technology we take for granted today and fought against other ships and pirates. This book is an extraordinary study of seamanship, navigation, and naval strategy that will transport readers back in time.
