The Global Schooner. Origins, development, design and construction. 1695 -1845. Глобальная шхуна. Происхождение, разработка, проектирование и строительство. 1695 -1845

Книга на английском языке.
In this new volume, Karl Heinz Marquardt presents the results of some twenty years of research into schooners and re-evaluates the longstanding perceptions about their origins and history. In doing so he answers the essential questions of genesis and, through his comprehensive exploration of the construction and fitting of a significant range of European, American and Australian schooner vessels, provides the first complete history of the development of the schooner.
