Customer Reviews

"Wooden Ship" a modeler's review

"Wooden Ship" has a writing style and simple drawings that at first look rather like a children's book (which it may be). However, the drawings are accurate and informative, the nomenclature (of various ship parts) is careful and accurate, and the story line is complete. Rather than showing some part of a wooden ship, with a label, like "keel", the illustration shows some shipwrights making a keel. Accurately. Well done.
