Ships not men alone, have long possessed the potential for changing history. This has been true not only of the great fleets of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, the Phoenician merchantmen, and the armadas of Spain and England, but of single vessels or small expeditions of but two, three, or four ships as well. A.A. Hoehling chronicles the ships that have influenced the world and made history. These are the stories of ships unknown and well-known. The book includes the real-life stories of The Clippers, the Great Eastern, USS Monitor, RMS Lusitania, the ships of Dunkirk, and the USS Arizona.
