in the Great Age of Sail
Captain Elliot Snow
Five fascinating true stories during the age of sail by such as John
Bartlett of Boston on the Massachusetts, Captain John B. Knight, master of
the brig Spy out of Salem Mass, and Captain Charles Barnard at the Falkland
Islands. For anyone in search of authentic tales of sea-going action,
adventure and exploration, these true-to-life accounts comprise a rich
treasury of entertaining reading. Moreover they offer a vivid picture of
life aboard the "tall ships" a century or more ago. A selection of 33
reproductions of historic drawings, engravings and photographs add special
flavor and authenticity to the text. This is an unaltered, unabridged
republication of a 1925 classic.
