Un gran libro, con una buena edición y encuadernación y muchas imágenes. Muy interesante, entretenido y bonito. Envío rapidísimo.Una buena compra, en definitiva.

Interesting read. Gorgeous diagrams. Makes a great "coffee table" book or gift.

Learned a great deal about important ships that made a difference in particular moments in history. Some heroic, some tragic.

My teenage son loved reading this book and still picks it up now after several readings already! It was the perfect gift for anyone who loves ships, boats, history, technical details, naval engineering etc. It is illustrated, but not in a childish way. It seems to have just the right amount of detail for anyone who wants to absorb knowledge about vessels and probably already knows a fair bit. There are enough anecdotal stories from history to stop it becoming too dry, while also having enough technical specifications to satisfy shipping buffs. The book is not oversized like many children’s versions- it’s about average book size and the hard cover makes the quality feel great. He received this along with a nautical navigation book, sailors hat and a calendar of the Royal Navy… he loved the gift and anyone else of a like-mind will also enjoy this book!

Bought as a present. Recipient loved it.
