Year: 1992 Language: english Author: Liberman C. @ P. Genre: History Publisher: Galahad Books ISBN: 0883657473 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 200 Description: For millions of people, Tall Ships are the fighting vessels they see in late night pirate movies or newsstand copies of sailing magazines. But for Cy and Pat Liberman and millions of others, these majestic travelers of the oceans represent much more. The ships and the mystique that surrounds them serve as fascinating reminders of the world's maritime heritage. Offering a chance to reconstruct pieces of the past, Tall Ships provide opportunities for present-day enthusiasts to vicariously experience the excitement, hard work, pleasure - and sheer challenge - of life at sea. In the pages of The Mystique of Tall Ships, the layperson can gain a full appreciation for the immense appeal of the Tall Ships movement. Written in a popular style that is easy to read, the book describes not only the modern Tall Ships that appear in major maritime celebrations, but also the efforts behind Tall Ships restoration and construction. Readers can learn how to identify individual ships, recognize types of vessels, understand the influence of maritime terminology on our language, and find out how exciting a personal involvement in the Tall Ships movement can be. They can find out about maritime museums, Tall Ships races, sail training and cruises, and much more. The Libermans trace the history of sail from prehistoric times through the whaling era to the present, with exciting tales of Tall Ships and their exploits. Going beyond traditional accounts of important dates and historical trends, they offer intriguing details of shipboard life then and now. Also included is a unique examination of the role of women and the sea, describing their involvement in piracy, whaling and international maritime history. In short, The Mystique of Tall Ships offers the who, when, where, why and how of the Tall Ships movement.
