Excerpt from Britain's Sea Story B. C. 55-A. D. 1805: Being the Story of British Heroism Voyaging and Sea-Fight From Alfred's Time to the Battle of Trafalgar; With an Introduction Tracing the Development of the Structure of Sailing Ships From the Earliest Times
This little book is believed to be the first to give a simple concise account of British ships and sea-exploits from early times to the greatday on which our sovereignty of the seas was assured. It is necessarily imperfect, inas much as for many periods we possess the scantiest of records, while for other periods the material is so abundant that a nice choice is naturally diflicult where one is closely limited. We have thought it well to devote a consider able amount oi space to the earlier periods, especially in the introduction, since the teaching of history ensures a greater familiarity with naval progress since the Eliza bethan days, by reason of the wealth of original records and critical work. Our hearty thanks are due to Miss Fiona Macleod for her vivid picture of the fight between the Vikings and the Gaels, and to Mr. H. P. Biggar, the eminent archivist to the Canadian Government, for his account of Cabot. The paper on shipbuilding in Viking times, written by Mr. Eirikr Magnusson, of Cambridge, and published in a recent number of the Saga Book.
