This 1930 edition of “Ships of the Seven Seas” by Hawthorne Daniel offers a fascinating glimpse into the golden age of maritime exploration and naval warfare. Published just over a decade after the end of World War I, this volume captures the transition from the era of wooden sailing ships to the rise of modern steel-hulled vessels and the dawn of naval aviation. Daniel’s meticulous research and vivid descriptions bring to life the legendary ships that sailed the world’s oceans, from the formidable battleships that clashed at Jutland to the nimble clipper ships that raced along trade routes. Featuring detailed illustrations and technical specifications, this book is a treasure trove for maritime enthusiasts and military historians alike. Despite its well-worn condition, this copy retains its integrity, with clean pages and a sturdy binding, making it a worthy addition to any collection focused on naval history or the evolution of seafaring technology.
