Harold M. Hahn - The Colonial Schooner 1763-1775. The schooner rig became associated with North America very early in the history of the Colonies and eventually came to be regarded as the most typically American sail plan. The earliest properly documented American-built vessels were schooners, and those ships are the subject of this book, The first part describes a series of schooners, built or purchased by the Royal Navy, which played a significant part in the events leading to the American Revolution. The second part is devoted to building schooner models by a method developed by the author. This technique is the perfect introduction to the most admired ship-modelling forms, the plank-on-frame hull. Greenwich 1981, 176p., The step-by-step description is illustrated with over 120 photographs, plans and diagrams. Hardcover besch. stofomslag.

8068 John Harland – Seamanship in the age of Sail. Numerous successful reprints of contemporary works on rigging and seamanship indicate the breadth of interest in the lost art of handling square-rigged ships. Model makers, marine painters, and enthusiasts need to know not only how the ships were rigged but how much sail was set in each condition of wind and sea, how the various maneuvers were carried out, and the intricacies of operations like reefing sails or 'catting' an anchor. John Harland has provided what is undeniably the most thorough book on handling square-rigged ships. Because of his facility in a remarkable range of languages, Harland has been able to study virtually every manual published over the past four centuries on the subject. As a result, he is able to present for the first time a proper historical development of seamanship among the major navies of the world. London 1995. 320p., many ill., Hardcover d.j.
