This is an enlarged edition of a work that has been accepted as the most complete exposition of model shipbuilding. The book is unusual in its attention to minute and authentic detail, supplying more than a thousand diagrams.
Included are details and features of a typical whaling vessel of the Moby Dick era, river and harbor ferryboats of the double-ender type and, in removable inserts, complete working plans for a clipper ship, a Gloucester fisherman, a harbor tugboat, a dragger, and the ironclads Monitor and Merrimac.[AuthorName]By Gene Johnson[/AuthorName][AuthorBio][/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]17 b/w photos, 22 illustrations, 6 plans, & 157 plates of drawings[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle][/SubTitle][ColorPattern]17 b/w photos, 22 illustrations, 6 plans, & 157 plates of drawings[/ColorPattern]
