Seamanship in the Age of Sail (Used Hardcover) - John Harland

Subtitled "An Account of the Shiphandling of the Sailing Man-of-War 1600-1860, Based on Contemporary Sources."

John Harland has provided what is undeniably the most thorough book on handling square-rigged ships. Because of his facility in a remarkable range of languages, Harland has been able to study virtually every manual published over the past four centuries on the subject. As a result, he is able to present for the first time a proper historical development of seamanship among the major navies of the world.
