How did Columbus sail the ocean blue? Until recently, we could only guess at the answer, but now the construction of accurate replicas of ships from the past is allowing scientists and mariners to take these replicas for a spin, so to speak. In this nicely illustrated book, readers will can watch the construction of ten replicas (including a Greek trireme and Captain Cooke's Endeavour) and then go along on the sea trials to see how the ships perform. Introductory chapters give background on experimental archaeology and how performance under sail is measured. This book will be enjoyed both by seafarers and landlubbers.
