Conway History of the Ship. The development from the earliest paleoithic cart, some of which were paddled rather than rowed, to the classical trireme and its Roman and Byzantine successors. As a warship, the galley survived the coming of the three-masted sailing ship and adapted itself to gunpowder artillery, so later chapters are devoted to the medieval and RRenaissance fleets. Large format. Navy blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 256 pages including index. ISBN: 0851775543. A lovely copy!
