Seamanship in the Age of Sail: An Account of the… by John Harland

An encyclopedia of the parts of a sailing vessel and how to handle it, but not much on the weapons aspect or history of its use.

Seamanship in the Age of Sail: An Account of the… by John H. Harland

A reference book of the highest order, and essential to anyone with an interest in the age of sail.

And why is it not more widely available?
