From the Back Cover
Who hasn't wondered, when looking out to sea, about the anonymous gray forms passing by. What kind of ship is it? Where is it going? What does it carry? What Ship Is That - the age-old hail between skippers meeting at sea - will satisfy these curiosities and more. An instant identification guide points out detailed drawings and descriptions that bring to life ninety-six types of ships, from aircraft carriers to bulk carriers, harbor tugs to shrimp trawlers, catboats to Americas Cup challengers. Basnight teaches the difference between a ship rig and a bark, a brig and a brigantine, a yawl and a ketch, and more.With the aid of over 250 drawings, readers see through an artist's eye the maritime world at work - fleet oilers refueling destroyers, container ships undergoing repairs, a heavily laden halibut schooner staggering back to port in heavy seas. This is an indispensable field guide for waterfront walkers everywhere. (9 X 6, 192 pages, illustrations)
