Description

The product of more than 35 years exacting research, this book presents in exquisite detail 152 clippers that comprise the culmination of the shipbuilder's art. Every facet of clipper ship design and construction is covered, including wood species, scantlings, fastenings, midship sections, interior living areas, and details of scarphs, keels, stem- and sternpost assemblies, frames, timbers, and bracing -- all included in some 160 intricately drawn illustrations by a man whose unequaled work has earned him a national following among modelers and maritime museum directors. This is possibly the most complete reference on clipper ship construction ever published.
