This collection of magnificent original full-color paintings by John Batchelor accurately depicts 100 amazing ships -- from the royal barge of the Egyptian pharaoh Cheops (2657 B.C.), the Greek trireme of 500 B.C., and the Viking ships that visited North America around A.D. 1001 to Columbus' flagship, the Santa Maria (1492); the U.S.S. Constitution, an early American warship (1794); andthe nuclear submarine U.S.S. Seawolf. Here also are small Spanish caravels, the brave little Mayflower, the U.S.S. Turtle, the first submarine (1776); a Mississippi stern-wheeler (19th century), the R.M.S. Queen Mary (1934), a German U-boat, the U.S.S. Missouri, and many others. Extensive notes describe each ship in a superbly rendered collection that will thrill shipping enthusiasts of all ages.
