The Pop Up Book of Ships

By David Hawcock The Pop-Up Book of Ships is a dramatic pop-up journey into the world's maritime past, presenting various maritime cultural innovations. From the earliest Viking longboats used to terrorise the coasts of Europe to the voyages of exploration aboard the Chinese junks; from the early explorers such as the Santa Maria to the Mayflower; from marauding pirate ships to frigates like the Bonhomme Richard and "Old Ironsides," the U.S.S. Constitution; from a quaint Mississippi riverboat to the luxurious Aquitania; and from such impressive aircraft carriers as the Intrepid or Enterprise to the superbly crafted  America³ racing yacht. These ships present a dynamic history of some of the world's greatest maritime adventures.
