Why
does
the
Chinese
junk,
so
cum-
bersome
in
appearance,
have
such
fine
sailing
characteristics?
How
fast
and
how
was
the
Yankee
clipper,
long
did
she
reign
after
the
advent
of
the
ocean-crossing
side-wheeler?
Who
mounted
the
first
naval
guns
in
turrets?
What
was
life
like
aboard
an
Arab
dhow
or
a
French
slave-
galley?
Why
were
Drake's
English
galleons
superior
to
the
towering,
floating
fortresses
of
the
Spanish
Armada?
Where
were
(
the
first
iron-
clad
fighting
vessels
developed
centuries
before
the
Merrimack
)
?
What
nation
paid
Robert
Fulton
not
to
make
submarines?
What
was
flank
speed
for
the
last
of
the
giant
46,000-ton
battlewagons?
These
questions,
and
thousands
of
others,
are
answered
in
this
stun-
ningly
illustrated,
fascinating,
chronological
survey
of
man's
water-
craft
down
through
the
ages.
T
he
emphasis
is
on
why
and
how:
