Description
The Log of the Cutty Sark follows one of the world’s most famous clippers through the ship’s history. The account is based on logbooks, captains’ summaries, and information from people who sailed aboard or had ties to the ship and its rivals.
Voyages, work, and dramatic events offer insight into life under sail and the competition among the clippers. Numerous illustrations, largely from historical photographs, support the historical narrative.
The book also includes line drawings, a midship section, and a sail plan of interest to model builders. The appendices include construction details for Cutty Sark and Thermopylae, spar dimensions from several well-known clippers, and details of the rigging.
This is a historical book about the vessel, not a blank logbook for filling in. It is well suited for sailing ship enthusiasts and others wishing to explore the maritime history of the clippers.
The publication is in English and is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd. Author: Basil Lubbock. ISBN: 9780851741154.
