Why read it?
1 author picked Seamanship in the Age of Sail as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A useful companion to Lavery’s Nelson’s Navy – my personal copy is quite well-thumbed! The book offers a definitive guide to every aspect of the handling of a man-of-war, explaining just how the ships of Nelson’s navy were actually sailed. Superb line drawings by the maritime artist Mark Myers enhance the text.
From Julian's list on understanding the Age of Sail.
