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.
