A Dictionary of Sea Terms (1919)This vintage book is an exhaustive and profusely illustrated dictionary of nineteenth- and eighteen-century nautical terminology. “A Dictionary of Sea Terms” will appeal to those with an interest in sailing, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature.

It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing. |
