This book charts the sailing ships course, the development of the schooner, and the sailing ship's transition from wood to iron and steel construction.

The advent of steam power was one of the greatest innovations in maritime transport since the development of the three-masted ship. This book examines the history of the merchant steamship, from the introduction of the paddle to screw propulsion and the emergence of efficient compound engines.

The steel, four-masted barque Herzegin Cecilie was one of the last great sailing ships that continued to trade successfully up until the 1930s. This book tells her complete story from her launch in 1902 to her loss through stranding on the coast of Devon in 1936. New information has been gleaned from records not previously available.

This book traces the evolution and associated traditions of the wooden ship, through her multiple forms and styles from her prehistoric beginnings to her demise shortly after the First World War. Details are provided on regional variations including the small three-masted schooner (Wales), the large three-masted schooner (Finland), the three-masted barque (Canada), and the four-master schooner (United States).
