Tall ships. A guide to sailing ships around the world/Руководство по большим парусникам

Издание на английском языке
The ships in this book are selected by size, from largest to smallest, determined by extreme or sparred length, which includes bowsprit and jibboom (the bit attached to the bowsprit). Where as most other ships are de?ned by hull length, extreme length better expresses the size of the rig carried by tall ships.
Author Max Mudie is a British photographer; he first sailed on a tall ship in 1987 and has been sailing, and photographing them, ever since. His images are used worldwide, in books, in calendars and on stamps.
