Descriere

'Breverton's Nautical Curiosities' is about ships, people and the sea. However, unlike many other nautical compendiums, the focus of this book in on the unusual, the overlooked or downright extraordinary. Thus, someone most of us do not know, Admiral William Brown, is given equal coverage to Admiral Nelson. Without Admiral Brown releasing Garibaldi, modern Italy might not exist. And without the barely known genius John Ericsson designing the Monitor, the Confederacy might have won the American Civil War. Readers will be stimulated to read more about the remarkable men - explorers, admirals and trawlermen who have shaped our world.
