American Ship Models and How to Build Them
Easy-to-learn techniques, arranged in order of difficulty, range from relatively simple models to complicated square-riggers. Starting with the construction of a half-hull ship model, the book advances to a whole-hull model and replicas of twelve vessels, with separate chapters on rigging, gear and furniture, and tools and materials.

This guide to ship modeling is distinguished by its particular suitability for beginners. Both text and plans are geared toward novices, with projects presented in easy-to-learn techniques and arranged in order of difficulty. Plans are drawn from those of the original builders or from measurements of existing craft. This is an unabridged republication of the work published by W. W. Norton, New York, in 1942. For this edition, the original fold-out plates have been converted to double-page spreads. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
