Towards the end of the 19th century, the firm of Percy & Small would set unrivaled records for wooden shipbuilding and ship management, launching 22 giant five- and six-masted schooners (along with 16 four-masters) in two decades, developing specialized techniques that pushed the wooden hull to its limits. This book offers a close-up look at plank-on-frame shipbuilding at its zenith. Illustrations.
