Excerpt from Ships Ways of Other DaysN Sailing Ships and their Story I endeavoured to trace the evolution Of the ship from the very earliest times Of which we possess any historical data at all down to the canvas setting craft Of to-day. In Fore and Aft I confined myself exclusively to vessels which are rigged fore and-aft wise, and attempted to show the causes and modifications Of that rig which has served coasters, pilots, fishermen, and yachtsmen for SO many generations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
