Sobre este artículo
New York: E. & G.W. Blunt, 1853. Some moderate browning of the preliminary leaves, a little foxing throughout, some regular wear to extremities of the bindings.. Quarto, engraved title-page and 114 engraved plates, two folding; later half red roan.
The classic and generously illustrated (a plate to every page of text) guide to practical seamanship, and particularly to rigging, here in a specially arranged American edition. The editor, George Blunt, explains that thirty-four years earlier, "his vocation then being upon the deep", he had used an English edition of Lever's Sheet Anchor. Modern changes in rigging have been included, and the new material includes Tables on Rope, Canvas, Guns, Spars, Clippers, and Forbes's New Rig.
