Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fore Aft Craft and Their Story: An Account of the Fore Aft Rig From the Earliest Times to the Present Day Eleven years ago I published this volume under the title Fore and Aft; the Story of the Fore & Aft Rig from the Earliest Times to the Present Day., which the press and public were kind enough to receive with such enthusiasm that it has long since been out of print. As the demand has continued insistent, it has been decided to reprint the book, and it now appears under the title Fore & Aft Craft and Their Story. It was pointed out that many persons whose interests were not closely connected with the sea failed to grasp immediately the character of the book from its original title, and it is hoped that under its new name this interesting story of one of the most important developments in maritime progress may reach a still larger section of the public.

Download or read book Rigging Period Fore and Aft Craft written by Lennarth Petersson and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-30 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] very useful little reference book . . . for members who strive to achieve an accurate set of rigging lines on their models.”—Bottleships Employing superb, clear draftsmanship, this book illustrates each and every detail of the rigging of typical period fore-and-aft vessels. The rigging of period ship models is arguably the most complex task that any modeler has to accomplish; the intricacies can be daunting, and visual references limited. The author’s first book, Rigging Period Ship Models, was a triumph of clarity for those needing to decipher the complexities of square rig and has now sold in multiple editions. This book does the same for fore-and-aft craft and deploys three typical eighteenth-century types—an English cutter, a three-masted French lugger and an American schooner. Some 200 diagrams show clearly where each separate item of standing and running rigging is fitted, led and belayed. Whatever the requirements of the modelmaker, all the information is here. This edition brings a visual clarity to the complexities of period rigging and will delight anyone with an interest in the rigging of traditional fore-and-aft craft. “This book is naturally highly commended to its target audience, but anyone with an interest in sailing ships will find it an interesting source of information that can be very hard to find.”—Firetrench “Not just for modelers but also a boon to traditional seafarers and readers of historical fiction.”—Julian Stockwin, author of To the Eastern Seas

Download or read book Arab Seafaring written by George F. Hourani and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic work George Hourani deals with the history of the sea trade of the Arabs in the Indian Ocean from its obscure origins many centuries before Christ to the time of its full extension to China and East Africa in the ninth and tenth centuries. The book comprises a brief but masterly historical account that has never been superseded. The author gives attention not only to geography, meteorology, and the details of travel, but also to the ships themselves, including a discussion of the origin of stitched planking and of the lateen fore-and-aft sails. Piracy in the Indian Ocean, day-to-day life at sea, the establishment of ancient lighthouses and the production of early maritime guides, handbooks, and port directories are all described in fascinating detail. Arab Seafaring will appeal to anyone interested in Arab life or the history of navigation. For this expanded edition, John Carswell has added a new introduction, a bibliography, and notes that add material from recent archaeological research.
