Mark P Posted April 6, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2019 Evening all: By a coincidence, I recently bought a copy of this through 'Bookfinder', a site recommended by another contributor on this forum. The book is very detailed, and will teach almost any reader a lot they did not know previously. The reconstruction is based on the Stockholm model and on an anonymous treatise on shipbuilding dated around 1620, which is again very detailed, and gives a step-by-step guide to constructing a draught of a ship (although it contains some errors in the mathematics used, corrected in this book) I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in ships of this period, or with a general interest in their history or construction. All the best, Mark P paulsutcliffe, Baker, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geraldo Posted July 22, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 22, 2020 Many thanks for information on this book. Have been searching for information on the Spanish Galleon in particular and your detailed photos of the text gave me enough guidance to evaluate the focus and content of the book. Cheers and thanks again.--Geraldo Baker and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
