Anyone who has looked out at the sea, a great lake, or a harbor has probably wondered about the ship on its horizon, guessing its origin or, perhaps, its destination. This innovative field guide shows how to instantly identify the type of vessel with more than 250 line drawings and detailed descriptions. Basnight outlines more than 96 types of boats and ships, from harbor tugs and bulk carriers to shrimp trawlers and brigantines, oil tankers, navy destroyers, halibut schooners, and every other ship currently plying oceans and waterways. Updated to reflect current changes in military ships, this is a fabulous field guide for boaters and coastal residents.

Bob Basnight is a lifetime sailor, a noted maritime artist, and a designer of recreational, commercial, and naval vessels, having served in the design departments of both the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company and the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. He lives in Newport News, Virginia.
