From Baird Maritime:

A small book for small people, i.e. children, it is, nevertheless, a good one.

Comprising photographs – good ones – and brief pithy descriptions of about 120 well known or famous ships or classes of vessels.

From Baird Maritime:

An unusual if not unique book but one that readers of this review might well find interesting and useful, if only for their personal protection. This is a facsimile reprint of the original.

This reviewer is well aware that many of you work and travel in some of the world’s most “interesting” places. Some of the ideas and techniques described here, while old, may still prove useful.

From Baird Maritime:

An incredibly useful little pocket book. The ultimate aide memoire for mariners of all kinds operating vessels large and small and sail or power.

No nonsense and highly refined, it includes everything you generally need to know to operate a vessel safely and efficiently. There is very little in it that you don’t need to know.
