0-517-02332-6 Category:
Reference Format:
Hardback Summary:
Very detailed book that covers the colonial period, naval craft, privateers and slavers, revenue cutters, schooners, merchant craft and sailing yachts. The chapter on revenue cutters is my particular favorite as there isn't much detailed information available elsewhere. Great reference source and deserves a place in any nautical library. Detailed drawings complete this 400 page volume. Well worth the $2.89 I paid for this priceless resource.
