Sailing ships have fascinated us for millennia and to this day there is no other means of transport with which we can travel the whole world with wind propulsion. They once enabled the discovery of foreign continents and the transfer of culture and goods between peoples. Even today, sailing ships touch us with their majestic presence when we marvel at them at major maritime events.
This volume by Hans Karr brings together the most important of the tall ships still active today and explains their technical features. Anecdotes from the ships' lives round off the portraits in an entertaining way.
