Red Maria Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I just came across a very favorable review of this title in the International Journal of Maritime History v.15:1 June, 2003 pg.230 Age of Sail: The International Annual of the Historic Sailing Ship London : Conway Maritime Press ISSN 0-85177-925-5 http://www.chrysalisbooks.co.uk/books/book/0851779255 Has anyone read this periodical? If you did what Do you think of it? Thanks

capnwilliam Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Looks like a great work, Maria. That Conway Maritime Press looks to have a lot of great stuff! Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Red Maria Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 I finally got the person who is th archivist for the maritime collection here to look at it. The Library os getting a subscription. Can't wait till it gets here! When things settle down I am seriously thinking of getting that Pirates of the Caribbean book. :)
JoshuaRed Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 I got the Pirates of the Caribbean book...it's pretty good overall, but with a heavy focus on the Elizabethan raiders like Drake and Hawkins. Not a whole lot in there on the early 18th century guys post-Q.A.War. What is good about it is that it's written by a Spanish historian, and the info is culled from Spanish primary sources, so it's a very interesting viewpoint. Other side of the coin, so to speak.
Milamber Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 sounds lke a cool book i will have to check it out
