Sailing ships, wooden ships, steel ships and concrete ships as well as combinations thereof have all been developed to meet specific needs of maritime commerce. This book describes the advantages and disadvantages of each. It traces the evolution of their construction from the earliest sailing vessels to steamships and on to modern ship designs.
