I think it is the same book and the same drawings. Just more pages. That is because: We Dutch people like to talk a lot and use more words to say something.

Today I was very pleased to receive a book in the mail, which I have been trying to add to my library for a long time. The previous owner took great care of the book over the years and she made sure it was well packaged for Transatlantic shipping. I have great respect for books and this is in wonderful condition .

I know Uwe @Uwek made a review of the book some years back so I will not repeat that here suffice to say it lives up to it’s reputation.

Just received my copies of

Roger Knight - CONVOYS - the british struggle against Napoleonic Europe and America
and
Matthew Betts - HMS TERROR - The Design, Fitting and Voyages of the Polar Discovery ship

Three books that came through the post this week and one 'Working Boats of Britain - their shape and purpose'. It seems as though local and working boats have largely been ignored in this thread, so I thought I'd do a little to correct that. A few more will follow later.

WORKING BOATS OF BRITAIN


INSHORE CRAFT - WORKING VESSELS OF THE BRITISH ISLES


SMACKS AND BAWLEYS

I'm afraid that probably not now...
The author of this book is currently on the front line. And the director of the Khortytsia National Reserve is now fighting for his native city of Zaporozhye. They don't have time to deal with books now...

ARCHITECTURA NAVALIS MERCATORIA​

The Classic of Eighteenth-Century Naval Architecture by Fredrik Henrik Chapman​

The Classic of Eighteenth-Century Naval Architecture by Frederik Chapman​

Wouldn't it be nice if they had a book like this for early 17th century ships? The problem is detailed information for ships of that time is lost to history.

ARCHITECTURA NAVALIS MERCATORIA​

The Classic of Eighteenth-Century Naval Architecture by Fredrik Henrik Chapman​

ARCHITECTURA NAVALIS MERCATORIA by Chapman​

One really important first source first published in 1768, a remarkable collection of sophisticated line drawings offers a fascinating treatise for model builders, naval historians, and maritime enthusiasts. Documenting merchant and naval ships from various countries, it features 70 illustrations that chart vessel dimensions, crew size, storage capabilities, and manner of rigging.
A great book

Another eBay special arrived this morning, an ex reference library in excellent condition with some very nice photos of extant boats, in addition to drawings and history.

Yet another eBay special just arrived, the 1912 edition of Fore and Aft by Keble Chatterton.
