Reader's note

A striking 1967 edition of The Great Age of Sail by Edita Lausanne. For five centuries, sailing-ships spanned the ocean waterways around the globe. Before the first round-the-world voyage was made by Magellan's expeditionary force, Christopher Columbus had already accomplished a transatlantic crossing in what could be termed a walnut-shell - for the Santa Maria with her crew of 52 men was probably only 56 feet long, 26 feet wide and had just 3,228 square feet of sail. The voyage lasted 70 days until dawn of October 12th, 1492, when Rodrigo de Trianna cried: "Land ahoy!" and thereupon pocketed the 10,000 maravedi which had been promised to the first man to shout out these long-awaited words. The text and illustrations in this book revives the exciting adventure which spanned five centuries. If this has piqued your interest, read on!
