Book Synopsis Boats of the World by : Sean McGrail

Download or read book Boats of the World written by Sean McGrail and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime archaeology, the study of man's early encounter with the rivers and seas of the world, only came to the fore in the last decades of the twentieth century, long after its parent discipline, terrestrial archaeology, had been established. Yet there were seamen long before there werefarmers, navigators before there were potters, and boatbuilders before there were wainwrights. In this book Professor McGrail attempts to correct some of the imbalance in our knowledge of the past by presenting the evidence for the building and use of early water transport: rafts, boats, and ships.
