Not fot the amature, Not well written- Only interesting to someone who sailed on long ships, then they wouldn't need it.

The Art of Rigging has been a great help to me in learning the maritme vocabulary of features of a sailoing vessel. I recommend it highly.

Requires a basic knowledge of ship's rigging to be useful; but for the modeller, it is an excellent reference work for specifics of the rigging of various blocks,pendants, etc. it even tells your how to build-up specific types of rigging.
Not a good primary reference but is good as additional information.

The book does not go into great detail, but does give an excellent idea of how square-riggers were rigged. It is more of an historical document than it is a descriptive analysis of how such ships were rigged and should be bought on that basis.

I feel this book would benefit a teacher instructing a studient, or an ex-sailor; like my husband. I had to ask for his help. I am re-searching old sailing methods and the Art of Rigging is beneficial for this purpose.
