Man-of-warThe creator of Incredible Cross-Sections presents an extraordinarily detailed look deep inside an 18th-century warship. Each turn of the page peels back a layer, moving through the vast ship from bow to stern, as the colorful spreads reveal fully-annotated cut-away illustrations that offer a wealth of information about the ship, activities and people on board. Full color. |
