From Baird Maritime:
One of the reasons why Brittania ruled the waves for so long was that the British developed and nurtured a very strong maritime heritage and culture.
This set Britain apart from other briefly ascendant maritime nations such as Germany, Japan and Russia. Like Britain, The Netherlands, France and Spain, for example, have all benefitted from strong maritime cultures.
One of the pillars of this strong maritime culture comes from a long and strong interest in maritime history and traditions. This large and elegant book is a classic example of this.
It is the joint work of a dozen leading maritime historian, museum directors and preservationists. Few other countries would have such a group of so obviously dedicated professionals to call on in this way.
This brilliantly illustrated and very accurately written work covers a wide range of the small craft that helped to make Britain great.
