Ship: A History in Art & Photography

"Ship" brings together 360 of the most famous ships in history and fiction in one stylishly produced volume. Each one has its unique and fascinating tale to tell, the stories so dramatic that they have been immortalized in evocative artworks and captured in startling photography. Themes include exploration and scientific discovery; shipwreck and cannibalism; mutiny and piracy; human endurance and survival. Ships that excelled in battle or were lost in devastating circumstances are represented, whether as part of a fleet action or a single-ship duel. And then there are those that were the first of their kind - larger, stronger, more powerful.
