Pilots The World of Pilotage 2
Verwijzing : ZVO-24-ZL
Titel : Pilots The World of Pilotage under Sail.
Vol. 2 Schooners and Open Boats of the European Pilots and Watermen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first volume of Pilots concentrated on the stories of American and British schooners.
Volume 2 enters what for many will be a less familiar world... that of the remarkable pilot brigs and small undecked craft. Schooners range from the Hiates of Portugal to the beautiful station boats of the North Sea ports of Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, and France. The development of the schooners themselves into such highly sophisticated craft is traced from regional predecessors.

Volume 2 of Pilots is not just about boats — the sailors also have their role. The book follows highly difficult manoeuvres under sail, dangerous transfers at sea, the routine of everyday life, and the perils of heavy weather including ships wrecked and lives saved. All aspects of a spectacular and previously unpublished maritime tradition are considered, not forgetting the competitions between pilots to be the best crews.
