As part of National Geographic's Story of Man series, this book takes a deep dive into human maritime history. It traces the complete evolution of seafaring, beginning with primitive watercraft and ancient discovery voyages to modern nuclear powered ocean liners. It is richly illustrated with over 400 detailed maps, drawings, and full color photographs. Author Captain Alan Villiers was a legendary Australian mariner who went to sea at 15, and ultimately was filmed in nautical epics like Moby Dick. The cloth bound cover art is one of our favorite details!
