Of Ships and Men – Alan Villiers

Short Description

Published by Newnes, London in 1964 after the 1962 first. Tall octavo, 206 pages heavily illustrated. Very good condition and the best printing of a book published in a number of forms.

A personal anthology by the Master Mariner. In chronological order with “The Build-up” … the opening sentence is “There were sailing ships at the bottom of our street – real sailing-ships, I mean – Cape Horners, four-masted barques, fully-rigged” .... love it!

Then we are off with … “The Real Thing” and then "Steamships" and "Little Ships" and "War".

Villiers unique knowledgeable writing style
