About this book
Thirty centuries of seafaring are covered in this large illustrated survey of maritime adventure, ship-building and navigation. Frank B. Goodrich wrote the main account; Edward Howland prepared the added part on diving, dredging and deep-sea sounding. Section I runs from the earliest times to the Christian era: the first canoe, oar, rudder and sail, the Ark, the Phoenicians, Egyptians and Greeks, the Argonauts, Greek and Roman ships, and the voyages of Hanno, Pytheas and Nearchus. Over 200 illustrations are promised on the title page, including a gigantic cuttle fish.
