Des Townson was a yacht designer and boatbuilder who possessed an analytical mind, an innate feel for sailing boats and a wonderful eye for their visual balance. During a five decade long design career he produced some of the most eye-catching, easily handled and well performing maritime craft to ever grace New Zealand waters. The fact he was self-taught and worked almost his entire career alone only intensifies the achievements of this remarkable man. His own recollections and those of his family, close friends and associates combined with photos, boat plans and press reports, ensure a detailed record of his impact on the New Zealand sailing scene is preserved. Des Townson's legacy continues to this day through the thousands of yachts still bearing his name.

Indonesian historical development has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous kingdoms. Srivijaya (7th - 11th centuries) and Majapahit (13th - 15th centuries) are names that ring out over the passing ages as two of the greatest maritime empires the region has seen. They operated huge fleets that controlled the waters around them and used their maritime expertise to effectively manage the ocean's potential resources in order to reap optimal political, economic, social and cultural advantage and reward. The legacy of this great maritime heritage resounds until today; we can see the traces in the lifeways of ethnic groups in Nias, Mentawai, the Suku Laut of the Riau Islands, Bajau, Bugus, Maluku, Papua and many others. Marine life has coloured the way of life of many of the inhabitants of the Indonesian Archipelago, and still may be seen the modern role of shipping and trading. This legacy has resulted in the world's largest maritime nation. This book represents an attempt to capture some of that history and explain and interpret the significance of past maritime trading activities. It examines the maritime societies and cultures that emerged over the course of time, their trade networks, the cultural legacy and the traces that remain of the great maritime kingdoms. The book will lay out facts and data to demonstrate the extent of this great legacy, and draw on the oral histories, and documents left by the traders and sailors recounting those long off days. The book serves also as a tribute to those ancestors who opened up trade in agricultural and maritime produce, as well as artefacts that were brought into the region and linked the Indonesian peoples to the rest of the world. It is the hope of the authors that by reading this book people will regain something of the pride and sense of achievements of their forebears.

This two-volume set highlights the importance of Iberian shipbuilding in the centuries of the so-called first globalization (15th to 18th), in confluence with an unprecedented extension of ocean navigation and seafaring and a greater demand for natural resources (especially timber), mostly oak (Quercus spp.) and Pine (Pinus spp.). The chapters are framed in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary line of research that integrates history, Geographic Information Sciences, underwater archaeology, dendrochronology and wood provenance techniques. This line of research was developed during the ForSEAdiscovery project, which had a great impact in the academic and scientific world and brought together experts from Europe and America. The volumes deliver a state-of-the-art review of the latest lines of research related to Iberian maritime history and archaeology and their developing interdisciplinary interaction with dendroarchaeology. This synthesis combines an analysis of historical sources, the systematic study of wreck-remains and material culture related to Iberian seafaring from the 15th to the 18th centuries, and the application of earth sciences, including dendrochronology. The set can be used as a manual or work guide for experts and students, and will also be an interesting read for non-experts interested in the subject. Volume 2 focuses on approaches to the study of shipwrecks including a synthesis of dendro-archaeological results, current interdisciplinary case studies and the specialist study of artillery and anchors.
