Book review Book Review: "SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS - Die Skulpturen des britischen Königsschiffes von 1637" by Hendrik Busmann

I found the drawing of van de Velde also in Laughton´s book "Old Ship Figureheads & Sterns"

title:
The "Sovereign of the Seas" 1637 (From a draught by Van De Velde, the elder, in the collection of Junius S. Morgan, Jr., Esq.)

Now there are THREE copies available... still priced like they are made of gold, however... $738.69. The hunt for a reasonably priced copy continues..

Book on Amazon
if somebody is interested:

on amazon.de there is a copy in good to very good condition for 233 Euro available


and on abebooks one copy (maybe the same) for 211 Euro

 
This is the ship I add the first to my wishlist. And while I'm very sure I will go on in scratch build. These books will find in the future a place on my bookshelf
