Synopsis
Excerpt from Notice Historique sur les Divers Modes de Transport par Mer
Chargé de rédiger, pour la section rétrospective de l'exposition de 1889, cette notice historique sur le bateau considéré comme moyen de transport et de communication entre les peuples, j'ai cherché, en évitant les considérations par trop techniques et écartant les questions d'ordre purement militaire, à retracer dans leurs grandes lignes les progrès de l' art naval.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical examination of seafaring from ancient times to the late Roman Empire. It traces the evolution of watercraft, from rafts and sewn-hide boats to the war galleys of the Greeks and Carthaginians, which were propelled by as many as fifty rowers seated in three tiers. The author shows the reciprocal influences of seafaring technology and trade, as new methods of transportation enabled access to distant markets and increased trade stimulated improvements in shipbuilding. Specific examples include the Phoenician discovery of the Atlantic, which was made possible by the development of the penteconter, and the rise of piracy during the Greek "Dark Ages", which led to improved ship design. The author concludes by highlighting the enduring legacy of these early mariners, whose innovations still influence modern shipbuilding and navigation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282875930_0
