About this title

Synopsis

The sailing ships of the 18th century were one of the most complex "technologies" of the age and the author artfully explains the "hows and whys" Peter Weir went to such painstaking lengths to manufacture an authentic recreation of this historical period, the ship and its crew. The book has an excellent visual layout with awesome color graphics and photos scattered throughout the informative text. The author truly "painted a wonderful and insightful picture" of everything it takes to make, IMO, a true classic sea movie.
