Reader's note

This wonderful and collectable book is a part of the brilliant King Penguin series and contains 16 full colour illustration plates. The story of the ship is as old as civilisation itself, and from over a period of at least 7000 years we possess countless representations of the vessels in which men have sailed the rivers and seas of the world. To attempt a representative anthology of ship-pictures of all ages is far beyond the scope of this small book. As such, the illustrations are limited to representations of sailing ships of the western world and give a lovely idea of marine art. Each one has been chosen because it has some beauty or interest all of its own. The combination of both art and history, make this a true vintage jewel.
