SHIP ASUNDER: MARITIME HISTORY OF BRITAIN IN 11 VESSELS (PB)

If Britain's maritime history were to be embodied in a single ship, she would have a prehistoric prow, a mast plucked from a Victorian steamship, the hull of a modest fishing vessel, the propeller of an ocean liner and an anchor made of stone. We might call her Asunder, and, fantastical though she is, we could in fact find her today, scattered in fragments across the country's rivers and coastlines. This extraordinary book examines those fragments in a profound and haunting exploration of our seafaring past.
