Seven Centuries Of Sea Travel - From The Crusaders To The Cruises
By Basil W. Bathe
Published by Barrie & Jenkins: London 1972 1st Edition With Sleeve

"Basil W. Bathe's Seven Centuries of Sea Travel - From the Crusaders to the Cruises offers a sweeping visual and historical chronicle of maritime exploration and innovation from the Middle Ages to the modern age of passenger liners. Drawing upon rare engravings, maps, and ship plans, Bathe traces the evolution of sea travel through war, trade, and discovery, illustrating how advances in navigation and ship design transformed global communication and commerce. His narrative moves fluidly from medieval galleys and caravels to clipper ships and early ocean liners, providing both technical insight and cultural context.

Published in 1972 by Barrie & Jenkins, this handsome first edition—complete with its original sleeve—features an impressive array of full-colour plates and archival illustrations that bring seven centuries of seafaring history vividly to life. Both informative and visually captivating, it is an essential work for maritime historians, collectors of nautical illustration, and readers fascinated by the enduring legacy of sea exploration."
