Sinopsis

This vintage book is a complete guide to the boats and ships of the nineteenth century, with information on vessels of every rig and size to be found in waters the world over. With a wealth of interesting historical information as well as complete instructions on making sailing models, this volume is highly recommended for those with a keen interest in maritime history, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “Introduction”, “Ship-building”, “Rigging of a Ship”, “Sails and Masts”, “Sailing”, “The Royal Navy”, “Marine Monsters”, “English Merchantmen and Fishing Vessels”, “English Yachts and Boats”, “Vessels and Boats of Europe”, “Vessels and Boats of Africa and Asia”, “Vessels and Boats of America and the Pacific”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on building boats.

On the east coast of England, there is a small hamlet surrounded by high sand-hills, with scarcely a blade of grass or even a low shrub to be seen in its neighbourhood. The only vegetable productions, indeed, which can flourish in that light soil, are the pale green rushes, whose roots serve to bind the sand together, and to prevent the high easterly winds, so constantly blowin...

The Gilpins and Their Fortunes

Although this narrative less concerns the boy Bedient than the man as he approaches twice seventeen, the action is worthy of account, beyond the riches that it brought, because it seems to dr...

Not far from the broad and slow-flowing river Meuse stands the town of Brill. Flanders, in which it is found, formed at the period to which we refer a province of the dominions belonging to Philip of Spain. It was ruled with no very paternal hand by the Duke of Alva, who resided chiefly at Brussels. He had been employed for several years in burning, hanging, drowning, and cutti...

The Ferryman of Brill

W. H. G. Kingston / WHGKingston / William H. G. Kingston / William HGKingston

A party of travellers were wending their way across a wide-spreading prairie in the north-west territory of America. As far as the eye could reach, the ground was covered with waving tufts of dark-green grass, interspersed with flowers of varied hue, among which could be distinguished the yellow marigold and lilac bergamot, with bluebells, hare-bells, and asters, innumerable; w...
