Year: 2000 Language: english Author: R. Morton Nance Genre: History Publisher: Dover Publications Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 210 Description: Years ago, when shipbuilders completed the task of building a sailing ship, a model often was presented to the owner. Many of these replicas were perfectly proportioned miniature ships. In other instances, sailors expressed their affection for the ships on which they sailed by building close approximations of the actual vessel. Today, these splendid creations provide valuable records of sailing ships from bygone days. This photo archive reproduces a host of these classic ship models, comprising a loving tribute to the proud, graceful, wind-driven craft that dominated the waters of the world for centuries. Reproduced from a rare limited edition, 135 handsome photographs and more than 30 drawings depict scores of meticulously crafted model vessels, among them a Flemish carrack, c. 1450; the Norske Love, 1634; the 90-gun Albemarle, 1680; an English man-of-war, c. 1715; a Dutch East Indiaman, c. 1740; a Spanish three-decker, the Real Carlos, 1787; the Great Republic, an American clipper, 1853; the California, the White Star line's last sailing clipper, 1890; and many more. An extensive introduction and detailed notes on the models complete this splendid collection—sure to delight ship-model enthusiasts, armchair sailors, naval historians, and any lover of the proud sailing ships of long ago. Unabridged Dover (2000) republication of Sailing-Ship Models, originally published by Halton and Truscott Smith, Ltd., London, 1924. 124 plates. More than 30 illustrations.
