The History of American Sailing Ships With drawings by the author and George C. Wales and Henry Rusk Hardcover – January 1, 1935. This is the most comprehensive book ever to be published on the sailing men-of-war of the United States Navy. The sailing-ship era of our Navy was highly picturesque and most important. It was an era that saw the founding of the United States, its development as a naval and maritime power, the foundation of a national maritime policy, and the establishment of the great and enduring traditions of the Navy. Mr. Chapelle here presents a full story of the building of our sailing Navy from colonial times to the time of the last all-sailing man-of-war, built just prior to the Civil War. In this parade of ships pass those of glorious name, Constitution, Hancock, Confederacy, Washington, President, Essex, Constellation, as well as those smaller but nonetheless important sailing men-of-war that made the United States Navy respected throughout the world. The design and construction of every type of ship is fully detailed, with comments on trends in technical thought and administration as they affected American naval ships. 200 plans, half tones, full color reproduction of a painting by the late George C. Wales.
