Year: 1982 Language: English Author: Burton A. Genre: History Publisher: Andre Deutsch Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 200 Description: This introduction to Britain’s seafaring history, which accompanies an eight-part BBC television series, fascinatingly recreates our maritime past in words and pictures. Sailing for pleasure is a surprisingly modern pastime. Two centuries ago virtually every boat on the water was there to do a job of work. So The Past Afloat tells the absorbing story of the working vessels of the past: how they were designed and built; what sails and rigging they carried; how and when steam took over. All these details together made — and sometimes changed -— the lives of those who lived and worked on the sea.
