€21.99
A stunningly illustrated tribute to all things maritime, Nautical celebrates the ingenuity of boats, ships and submarines past, present and future.
From the first canoe carved from a single tree trunk nearly 10,000 years ago, through to enormous warships capable of carrying over 75 aircraft, this super-stylish book by the award-winning artist Dieter Braun is the perfect gift for lovers of all things nautical.
Written by expert author Matt Ralphs, Nautical is packed full of daredevil explorers, bloodthirsty pirates and ingenious inventors, and the extraordinary vessels they designed, built and sailed, including Viking dragonboats, the Mary Rose, the Cutty Sark, RMS Titanic, and many more.
