Tall quarto reprint, 190 pages, fine card covers, no inscriptions or marks. Illustrated wth 10 colour photographs, 245 black and white photographs, 8 scale diagrams and line drawings A detailed look at the making of ten new static model ship projects which demonstrate the transition from kits to scratch building. Chapters dedicated to the building of each vessel lead the model maker through the various phases of construction, advising on both the methods and procedures required to build models up to exhibition standard. The range of subjects extends from the simple BountyÆs Jolly Boat to HMS Bounty itself. The huge San Felipe is representative of the Spanish warship of the late 17th century, and the 1: 48 scale Viola takes the modeller into the fascinating world of early twentieth century American whaling. A later chapter summarises rigging terminology and modelling techniques û that part of the building process that unjustifiably deters many from delving into the most satisfying hobby of static model sailing ships. ., Special Interest Model Books Limited, 2005, 5, Lymington: Nautical Publishing Company, 1970.

First Edition Hardback TThe Way of a Ship Square-Rigger Voyage in the Last Days of Sail clipped 447pp When as a young man in the 1880s, Benjamin Lundy signed up for unimaginably hard duty aboard a square-rigged commercial sailing vessel - one destined for a treacherous, white-knuckle passage around that notorious "graveyard of ships," Cape Horn - he had no idea that his experience would also provide a window into an epochal transition that would fundamentally change man's relation to the sea. A century later, Derek Lundy, an accomplished amateur seaman, set out to recount his forebear's journey. This is a mesmerizing account of Benjamin's life on board the square-rigger Beara Head, a remarkable reconstruction of a harrowing journey through the most dangerous waters, furling sails 150 feet aloft in heavy weather; enduring cold and danger; sleep-deprived and malnourished, at times half-starved; fighting each day to save the ship and his crewmates. In the process, Benjamin "learns the eternal lessons the sea, which is to say that he finds out the sort of man he is." 352 pages.We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .

Tall quarto reprint, 190 pages, fine card covers, no inscriptions or marks. Illustrated wth 10 colour photographs, 245 black and white photographs, 8 scale diagrams and line drawings A detailed look at the making of ten new static model ship projects which demonstrate the transition from kits to scratch building. Chapters dedicated to the building of each vessel lead the model maker through the various phases of construction, advising on both the methods and procedures required to build models up to exhibition standard. The range of subjects extends from the simple BountyÆs Jolly Boat to HMS Bounty itself. The huge San Felipe is representative of the Spanish warship of the late 17th century, and the 1: 48 scale Viola takes the modeller into the fascinating world of early twentieth century American whaling. A later chapter summarises rigging terminology and modelling techniques û that part of the building process that unjustifiably deters many from delving into the most satisfying hobby of static model sailing ships. ., Special Interest Model Books Limited, 2005, 5, Lymington: Nautical Publishing Company, 1970.

"Shipbuilding in the Maritime Provinces had progressed as an industry for almost 100 years when it burst into full glory during the middle decades of the nineteenth century. These were the years of the Golden Age of Sail, when wooden square-rigged vessels were being built in every town and hamlet close enough to water to float a vessel; when Canada stood fourth among the ship-owning countries of the world and Yarmouth and Saint John were among the world's great ship-owning ports."

First Edition Hardback TThe Way of a Ship Square-Rigger Voyage in the Last Days of Sail clipped 447pp When as a young man in the 1880s, Benjamin Lundy signed up for unimaginably hard duty aboard a square-rigged commercial sailing vessel - one destined for a treacherous, white-knuckle passage around that notorious "graveyard of ships," Cape Horn - he had no idea that his experience would also provide a window into an epochal transition that would fundamentally change man's relation to the sea. A century later, Derek Lundy, an accomplished amateur seaman, set out to recount his forebear's journey. This is a mesmerizing account of Benjamin's life on board the square-rigger Beara Head, a remarkable reconstruction of a harrowing journey through the most dangerous waters, furling sails 150 feet aloft in heavy weather; enduring cold and danger; sleep-deprived and malnourished, at times half-starved; fighting each day to save the ship and his crewmates. In the process, Benjamin "learns the eternal lessons the sea, which is to say that he finds out the sort of man he is." 352 pages.We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
