The Ship Asunder | Tom Nancollas | Paperback
Impuestos incluidos
A ship’s history does not always end when her hull disappears. A prow, a figurehead or a propeller can survive long enough to tell a different story about the people who built and sailed her. Tom Nancollas follows eleven such fragments through Britain’s maritime past, from the Bronze Age to the age of ocean liners.
His approach brings shipwrights, fishermen, merchants and naval architects into the same account. Objects become starting points for journeys through ports, creeks and former dockyards, and for questions about what Britain chooses to preserve. For readers interested in historic vessels and coastal heritage, this is a thoughtful way to look beyond the familiar sequence of battles and famous captains.
