Matusalem Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 For ten friggin' dollars!!! ($10) I was at B&N last night, and the sale area up front had The Great Sailing Ships by Franco Giorgetti (VMB Publishers). Great details, including mechanical drawings, illustrations, and of course, some great detailed photos form the salvaged Swedish 17th century ship Vasa, which I swear the Dsiney people referenced for the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman. I posted some links to the Vasa on another post (Black Pearl) in the Pyracy Pop forum, this is one of the links:Vasa Here's the Book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
