Description

This is an instructional maritime work that introduces the handling and operation of large square-rigged sailing ships. It draws on Villiers' extensive experience as a sailor and maritime historian to explain traditional seamanship techniques. The vessels were navigated, maintained, and sailed efficiently across long ocean voyages. It also includes illustrations and practical insights that help readers understand life and labor aboard windjammers. Published in 1975, as it serves as both a historical record and a guide to a nearly vanished form of sailing.
