This is the 1982 re-print of The History of American Sailing Ships, written by the American naval architect and curator of maritime history at the Smithsonian Institute Howard I Chapelle (1901-1975). It was originally published in 1935. It is a great reference for people who are into the details of ships--form, construction etc., and biographies of naval architects. 400 pages, including 200+ photos and drawings by Chapelle, George Wales and Henry Rusk. It is in near-mint condition; its only deficit is repairs to the (unclipped) dust jacket. The front endpaper is signed, in pencil.
