Daily Life in the Age of Sail: (The Greenwood Press "Daily Life Through History" Series)

Rating:
Summary: Detailed, authoritative, interesting
Review: I am doing research for a book on the influence of sailing on life today, and this book has been invaluable. It has much more detail and covers a broader range of subjects than any other book I've been able to find. Thank you to the authors for pulling together so much interesting research into one very readable volume! It would be very helpful to students or anyone interested in the real day-to-day details of life on the seas or the waterfront in the 19th century.
