INTRODUCTION
While this book is intended for all who love boats, ships, history, and nautical lore, it is also designed as a definitive source of high-quality, royalty-free images for use by artists, graphic designers, desktop publishers, ad agencies, and more. This collection of 681 wood engravings includes striking examples of some of the world’s most beautiful boats and ships. Among the many famous vessels in this volume are Columbus’ ships, the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria; King Henry VIII’s Great Harry; the Pilgrim fathers’ Mayflower; Henry Hudson’s Half Moon; King Charles I’s Sovereign of the Seas; Captain Cook’s Discovery; the HMS Bellerophon; Fulton’s Clermont; and the Great Eastern. Among famous naval battles shown are the conflict at Actium, the invasion of the Spanish Armada, Dutch-English engagements in the seventeenth century, Anson’s Centurion capturing a Spanish treasure ship, Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar, Perry’s triumph at Lake Erie, and the Civil War ironclad contest between the Monitor and Merrimac.
In this volume one can find many different types of vessels: rowboats, funeral barges, Venetian gondolas, catamarans, Native American canoes, Chinese junks, tugboats, canal boats, barges, yachts, brigs, barks, sloops, skiffs, catboats, various kinds of vessels used for fishing and whaling, ships in distress, etc. One can also find examples of nautically related material: navigational instruments, diving suits and helmets, lighthouses, canal locks, dry docks, two views of the Suez Canal, helmsmen, ship captains, seamen at work, deck scenes, and interiors of vessels.
I have organized this material in both a chronological and categorical manner. One could say that it is arranged first of all vertically, and later horizontally. The vertical arrangement is a continuous time-line from the earliest vessels of antiquity to the mid-nineteenth century. Thus the unfolding sequence of pages reveals examples of ancient Egyptian vessels; galleys, biremes, and triremes from ancient Greece and Rome; fierce Viking ships; vessels of the Middle Ages; stouter ocean vessels that allowed the Spaniards to discover the New World; elegant Venetian galleys; galleons; pirate vessels; men-of-war; and battles spilling the blood of the major contending naval powers: Spain, France, Holland, Britain, and later, America. This vertical movement culminates with the beautiful frigates and clippers of the mid-nineteenth century.
We then return to the late eighteenth century to begin a parallel movement. This time we are following the time-line of steam technology. The illustrations begin with the earliest experiments with steam power. Fulton’s Clermont (1807) provided the breakthrough, adequately demonstrating the practicality and potential that lay
