RUNDHOELZER TAUWERK & SEGEL
by Klaus Schrage (ISBN 3-7822-0451-4) (1989)

A book dealing with masts / sails and rigging, especially for the British warships late 18th century with over 550 explanatory drawings.
I can also recommend this book by Klaus Schrage - it is very helpful to understand the complex rigging - so maybe not only interesting for german speaking members, because of the number of sketches and the modern technology with translation apps helpful also for everybody

The Ship Asunder: A Maritime History of Britain in Eleven Vessels Hardcover –​

published 31 Mar. 2022

by Tom Nancollas (Autor)

'Three and a half millennia of British Maritime history, from the Middle Bronze Age to the early 20th century ... This book is written with passion and sympathy. It will live with me for a very long time'Francis Pryor, author of The Fens

If Britain's maritime history were embodied in a single ship, she would have a prehistoric prow, a mast plucked from a Victorian steamship, the hull of a modest fishing vessel, the propeller of an ocean liner and an anchor made of stone. We might call her Asunder, and, fantastical though she is, we could in fact find her today, scattered in fragments across the country's creeks and coastlines.

In his moving and original new history, Tom Nancollas goes in search of eleven relics that together tell the story of Britain at sea. From the swallowtail prow of a Bronze Age vessel to a stone ship moored at a Baroque quayside, each one illuminates a distinct phase of our adventures upon the waves; each brings us close to the people, places and vessels that made a maritime nation. Weaving together stories of great naval architects and unsung shipwrights, fishermen and merchants, shipwrecks and superstition, pilgrimage, trade and war, The Ship Asunder celebrates the richness of Britain's seafaring tradition in all its glory and tragedy, triumph and disaster, and asks how we might best memorialize it as it vanishes from our shores.
