Britain’s Historic Ships: A Complete Guide to the Ships that Shaped the Nation
From Baird Maritime:
While many other countries are lucky enough to have had one or two historic ships preserved, the United Kingdom and the United States are blessed with dozens.
Thanks to the strong maritime culture prevailing in both countries it is possible to be confident that this fortunate state of affairs will continue. This excellent book describes the British fleet of preserved historic vessels. Hopefully, its publication may persuade other nations to follow the British example.
Britain actually has a National Historic Ships Register which is included here. There are also useful diagrams of some fifty historic ships and boats.
A fine example of what can be achieved when a nation's maritime culture is strong.
