The Global Schooner: Origins, Development, Design and Construction, 1695-1850

Celebrated as one of the most handsome, fast, and versatile sailing rigs, schooners plied the trade winds of the world for more than 250 years. This history traces the evolution of the ship from its English origins in 1697 through European and American developments. Includes an examination of four schooners: the Baltimore clipper "Berbice", the Coast Guard vessel "Elgen", the gunboat "Axel Thorsen", and the merchantmen "The Schooner of Port Jackson" and "Enterprize". Full specifications, illustrations, model photos, and line drawings are given for each vessel, plus more general details on the construction, fitting, masting, rigging, and armament of both merchant and naval schooners.
