A large format, meticulously researched, lavishly illustrated and fully international history of mankind's seaborne voyages from the Phoenicians and Chinese to modern navies and round-the-world sailing yachts. Royal prestige, intellectual curiosity, commerce and territorial expansion all propelled mankind to make perilous voyages across unpredictable oceans to find out what lay beyond the horizon, and the art of navigation allowed them to do so. From initial conjecture and philosophical reason, man ventured forth to glean first-hand information of the seas by exploration and scientific investigation. The author pieces together the advances in astronomy, navigation, shipbuilding and surveying through the ages to tell the fascinating and absorbing history of navigation and exploration in an elegant volume that is beautifully illustrated with manuscripts and rutters, portolans and sea charts, ship's instruments and artefacts. The meticulous research, based on original sources, has brought to light a lot of new information, which in some cases contradicts popular held beliefs. The book opens with the basic questions and challenges of navigation. Part 2 unravels the development of science and seafaring from the ancient times to the Mediterranean era. This created a basis for longer sailings, which are at the heart of Part 3 and in Part 4 the book ends with the advanced technology that made it possible to determine a ship's exact position at sea.

This charming concertina book follows the journey of a little ship on a voyage across the sea. Folding out to nearly 8 feet, children can look at all the different things the ship sees on its way, as it chugs past fishing vessels, a tanker and a humongous cruise ship, alongside leaping dolphins and shoals of flying fish, through the high, choppy waves of a lightning storm, and finally reaching its own little harbour. Playful text guides the journey, providing fun shared experience and conversation starter for parents and young children. The reverse side of the concertina features spot illustrations picked out from the main scene, with a more expansive information about each element, from ships to ocean life.

Of all the maritime titles produced by Ian Allan Publishing there is one--Ocean Ships--that has, over more than 40 years and numerous editions, been the most consistently successful and most regularly requested. Providing the reader with detailed information on the world's ocean going ships, the book is the 'Bible' of maritime enthusiasts worldwide.

The new edition reflects the continuing boom in the international cruise business with new vessels either delivered or ordered by many of the world's major cruise lines. Amongst liners to be incorporated in this 2004 edition is the new flagship of Cunard--the Queen Mary 2--which will enter service during the course of the year. Listed according to the shipping line that owns them, each entry provides information on flag of registration, weight, year of construction, former names and much else. Information is also provided on the funnel colour of each shipping line and hull colour schemes.
