Encyclopedia of Nautical Knowledge

By A.H. Lewis and W.A. Macewen

Book Overview

A classic of nautical erudition, this volume enumerates and clarifies the multitude of terms and phrases relating to the sea. The authors have successfully endeavored to be complete on the practical side, sufficient on the theoretical, with a smattering of the historical. Words and terms ranging from the technical to the fanciful, all pertaining to the world of sailors, vessels, and marine life, are arranged and defined with both the salty dog and the landlubber in mind. No other single work approaches the exhaustive coverage of this unique book.
