A Photo-Filled Book on Wooden Vessels

Wooden-boat and wooden-ship enthusiasts, take note. This book contains many pictures of wooden ships, both old and new. What's more, there are also many pictures of the interiors of the boats. Some of these photos are of very old-fashioned equipment, such as those of the kinds of steering wheels used on wooden boats and ships centuries ago. One almost feels that he or she is in an antique shop when viewing some of these photos! This book also contains descriptive text. The ratio of the pages' space devoted to text to that devoted to the photos is approximately 3:1 to 4:1.
