Publisher's Synopsis

This is the first modern study of warship top hamper in the whole era of sail for which firm evidence is available, including the hitherto 'dark ages' of the mid-eighteenth century. When this book was first published in 1979 it was immediately recognised as the standard work on the evolution of rigging, mast-making and sail making. After two revisions, it remains the most comprehensive work on the subject.
