Excerpt from Marine Transport Industrial HandbookLong before the days of written history, man had launched forward into the unknown seas. Under the restlessness engendered by his environment he had formed his rough coracle on the shores of Albion or rushed through the bays of warmer climes his crude raft of tree branches bound together with the supple strings from tropical climbers. These humble craft were the forerunners of the great liners and the black, squat battle cruisers of our own day. Slowly, ever so slowly, man added to his conquests and gained in confidence and in horizon through the long vista of the years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
