The fascinating story of sister four-masted barques (the "Cidade Do Porto" and the "Moshulu"), two of the finest square-rigged sailing vessels ever built, and recounts the factors leading up to their building in 1904, the architectural and engineering features of their construction, and their subsequent careers to the present time. In addition this book reconstructs a period of maritime history about which little or nothing has been written and tells of the men who made, owned, commanded, and manned them during a half century of ocean trading. Profusely illustrated with photographs, 188 illustrations and 19 fold-out plans.
