I'm finished as much as one can be with a reference book. This has it all!

Outstanding illustration of old sailing schooners and many earlier styles of sea-going vessels. For me, this book stays in my library because Gordon Grant was such an outstanding maritime illustrator. This edition (1935) typically had a beautifully illustrated dust jacket and inner boards in a mauve that faded badly.

Good introduction to a complex subject
