Ships & How They Sailed the Seven Seas (5000 B.C.-A.D.1935) by Hendrik Willem Van Loon-This is the fifth printing of 1935. This book is a tome, it is large, with 304 pages that covers ships from 5000BC to 1935AD. From the early ships of the River Nile and the eastern Mediterranean, through the world sailing, to the first steamships. There are illustrations throughout. This is Van Loon’s love letter to those brave sailors and pioneers. This hardcover book has its dustcover, that has some slight damage on the lowest edges. The book itself is very clean and in good condition. If you love ships, and who doesn’t, this is the perfect history book for you. Scarce to find especially in this condition.
