The Naval Handbook for Sailmakers

Traditional maritime skills like sailmaking and canvas work have been handed down for generations but seldom recorded. There are few authoritative sources of information on this subject but the Royal Navy has maintained this knowledgein this classic handbook. The diagrams and illustrations are particularly fine while the text is the distilled expertise of countless sailmakers. This book will interest naval historians and anybody who wishes to practise the skill of sewing and canvas work.
