Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Dwyer, Austin (illustratore). Small, scruffy and stinking of seal oil and old blubber, the 458-ton Nimrod wasnt Ernest Shackletons first choice of ship for his Antarctic Expedition. Similarly unassuming, the squat, two-masted HMS Beagle, more suited to routine naval tasks, didnt look much like a ship that was to help deliver one of the most groundbreaking theories of science ever. Ships to Remember, beautifully illustrated by the paintings of Austin Dwyer, is a collection of stories about remarkable ships, some of which went on to change the course of history. Many are now famous, but some, like the tugs Yelcho, Foundation Franklin and Turmoil are virtually unknown. Two boats in particular, the Bountys longboat and the James Caird, completed two of the most extraordinary voyages in maritime history. Spanning 1,400 years, this fascinating book includes the catastrophic sinking and eventual recovery of the Vasa, Nelsons triumph at the Battle of Copenhagen, Darwins epochal voyage on HMS Beagle and the pivotal Second World War relief of Malta by the tanker Ohio. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Dwyer, Austin (illustratore). Hardcover. Beautifully illustrated, readable accounts of pivotal ships spanning nearly 1500 years of history around the world 'Ships To Remember' is a beautifully illustrated collection of stories about remarkable ships. Some are famous, but many, like the tugs, Yelcho, Foundation Franklin and Turmoil are virtually unknown. The book includes two boats, the Bounty's launch and the James Caird, which completed two of the most extraordinary voyages in maritime history, but all of the vessels had interesting and dramatic careers and were involved in many major historical incidents. They include the catastrophic sinking and eventual recovery of the Vasa, Nelson's triumph at the Battle of Copenhagen, Darwin's epochal voyage on HMS Beagle, and pivotal Second World War relief of Malta by the tanker, Ohio.

hardcover. 2011 First Edition. 544pp, 189 x 247mm, maps, colour photos, black and white photos, hardback, elibrary, a few stamps but very clean indeed, VG- in VG dw with no library marks, label signed by Rorke Bryan to title page. This richly illustrated book is destined to become the reference book on ships of the Antarctic. Surrounded by some of the most hazardous seas, Antarctica was first sighted less than three centuries ago. Since then, hundreds of ships have voyaged in Antarctic waters, challenged by poorly-charted waters, storms, pack ice, icebergs, and disease. This is the story of these ships, the expeditions they supported, and their subsequent history, from the fifteenth-century fleets of the Ming Emperors of China to the tourist ships and powerful icebreakers of today. Using extensive research in archives, museums, libraries and private sources around the world, Rorke Bryan brings the stories of these ships into a single, comprehensive record. Familiar names such as Terra Nova and Endurance feature with unfamiliar but equally important ships. From the hundreds of tales of heroic seamanship, the extraordinary 1830-1832 circumnavigation by Captain John Biscoe in the tiny Tula is perhaps matched only by Shackleton's voyage in the James Caird. Plans, photos, paintings and maps enhance description of the expeditions and activities of the ships. This authoritative work fills an important gap in Antarctic literature. A substantial volume, a must have for any polar collection. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.
