The romance of the ship; the story of her origin and evolution
A popular history of ship development written by E. Keble Chatterton and issued in 1911 by Lippincott in Philadelphia and Seeley in London for general readers and boys interested in the sea. Plates mix crisp pen-and-ink profiles of medieval carracks and full-rigged men-of-war with tonal halftones of paddle steamers and ironclads, giving clean rigging diagrams and broadside silhouettes.
