In this book, the reader will find nautical terms of the great age of sail - together with more modern ones - defined in modern language and vividly illustrated to provide an immediate grasp of each topic. The text is systematically arranged under twenty main subject headings, each major section opening with an introductory essay written by an expert and setting the various terms in perspective. Terms relating to a particular topic (such as framing a ship or tacking and wearing) are grouped together, while cross-references lead the reader to other topics and a full index provides a key to the whole.

Ever since the earliest travellers took to the water on reed rafts or inflated goatskins, ships and boats have played a paramount role in the history of the western world. The invention of the sail in Egypt in about 3500 BC resulted in ever faster and more efficient water transport, and the nations that surrounded the Mediterranean in ancient times depended on ships and seafarers for their prosperity.
