This is a concise little book that does an excellent job of tracing man’s endeavors in travelling across the seas from the beginning, over 6,000 years ago, up to the present time. From man’s earliest days of simple dugout logs to the giants that roam the seas as huge transport ships, through luxury liners and cruise ships, from oars, to sail to steam and diesel, to the advanced nucelar ships of today. This little book puts them all into perspective;including the fighting ships and submarines;ships doing research, defending the country, breaking records or simply used for pleasure. It even tries to predict what the future may bring.
