Ships to Remember
"Ships To Remember "is a beautifully illustrated collection of stories about remarkable ships. Some are famous, but many, like the tugs "Yelcho," "Foundation Franklin," and "Turmoil "are virtually unknown. The book includes two boats, the "Bounty" s launch and the "James Caird," which completed two of the most extraordinary voyages in maritime history, but all of the vessels had interesting and dramatic careers and were involved in many major historical incidents. They include the catastrophic sinking and eventual recovery of the "Vasa," Nelson s triumph at the Battle of Copenhagen, Darwin s epochal voyage on "HMS Beagle," and pivotal World War II relief of Malta by the tanker, "Ohio.""
