A modern, objective appraisal, based on contemporary sources, of the practice and theory of square-rigger shiphandling, 1600-1860. Seamanship in the Age of Sail covers the historical development of seamanship among the major navies of the world, and gives details on terminology used for sails, masts, rigging, crew organization, steering, tacking, wearing, and more. The many drawings are both browsable and informative. Though not a square-rigger's best side, the many bird's eye drawings of a ship during such maneuvers as "heaving to" in which you look straight down on the masts make it much clearer about the setting of the yards.
