Construction, armament and rigging of merchant and military vessels at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. With drawings and plans by the author.
Karl Heinz Marquardt, a historian-researcher, ship modeler and marine artist. In his book he talks about the ships that appeared at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, namely about schooners, which were widespread in both northern and southern latitudes. He deliberately refuses to consider various hull shapes, believing that it was the rigging that turned a sailing vessel into a schooner. The proposed drawings, historical references, sketches and tables with technical characteristics, a detailed description of the subject of research make this book an invaluable reference book, allowing ship modelers to undertake their own attempts to reconstruct old schooners.
