By focusing on Britain’s maritime heritage, Peter Marsden opens the door to
an intriguing world in his masterly Ships and Shipwrecks. From a 9000-year-old
Bronze Age paddle, Roman wrecks to the Cutty Sark and HMS Warrior, this is a
well conceived and erudite account of the island’s history. Published by
Batsford, £15.99/$35, ISBN 0713475366.
