Fifty Ships that Changed the Course of History is more than just a delight for lovers of the sea—it’s a virtual history of the world told through the boats and ships that influenced how and where people lived. Beautifully illustrated with historic artwork and modern photography, it contains not only maritime marvels from ages past, but also some of the most iconic Australian and New Zealand watercraft. Included are Captain Cook’s HMS Endeavour and Greenpeace’s once flagship Rainbow Warrior.
