The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich houses the largest collection of scale ship models in the world. As such they represent a three-dimensional archive of unique importance and authority. Many of the models are official, contemporary artifacts made by the craftsmen of the Royal Navy or the shipbuilders themselves, ranging from the mid-seventeenth century to the present day.
Now available in paperback, this book tells the story of the evolution of the cruising ship under sail. Treated as historical evidence, they offer more detail than even the best plans, and demonstrate exactly what the ships looked like in a way that even the finest marine painter could not achieve. It includes a large number of model photos all in full-color as well as close-up and detail views.
