Description

Explore the lost art of handling square-rigged ships with this comprehensive account of seamanship from 1600 to 1860. While many historical texts focus solely on rigging, this work provides a deeper look into the actual operation of a sailing man-o-war. It covers the practical side of naval life, explaining how much sail was set during different wind and sea conditions and how specific maneuvers were executed on deck. This book serves as an essential resource for modelmakers, marine painters, and history enthusiasts who require more than just a basic training manual. It goes beyond the scope of contemporary treatises by detailing the specific processes used by sailors, such as reefing sails or the methods for catting an anchor. Whether you are researching naval history or seeking technical accuracy for a maritime project, this text provides the necessary context for understanding how these historic vessels were truly managed at sea.
