The Shape of Ships is the story of the development of ships from the earliest known carvings and tombs models of the ancient Egyptians down to the most modern transatlantic liners, with the reason, steps by steps, for the chief changes and innovations. This book is written and illustrated by a well-known British naval architect and marine artist, and therefore his many line drawings and coloured plates are historically accurate as well as genuinely artistic. They complement his detailed and authoritive history perfectly and make of this interesting and instructive book for ship enthusiasts.
