Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Reprint of 1930 edition. xii, 192, [18] pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Appendix. Index. Book has slight undulation. Howard Irving Chapelle (February 1, 1901 - June 30, 1975) was an American naval architect, and curator of maritime history at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. In addition, he authored many books and articles on maritime history and marine architecture. During World War II, he served in the United States Army Transportation Corps ship and boatbuilding program, rising to lieutenant colonel. In 1950, he ventured to England, where he researched colonial ship design on a Guggenheim fellowship. In 1956/57, he served the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization as a consultant on fishing boat construction to the government of Turkey. Upon returning to America, he was appointed Division of Transportation curator of the National Museum of History and Technology. In 1967, he stepped down as curator to assume the role of senior historian. He retired in 1971, accepting the title of historian emeritus. Fast, lightly rigged and sleekly styled with wide, clear decks, the Baltimore Clipper appeared in American waters about the time of the American Revolution and instantly launched a colorful and romantic chapter in maritime history. Because of their speed and maneuverability, these "rakish topsail schooners" were quickly taken up by privateers, slavers, smugglers, and pirates. Until the publication of this book, little literature was available on these ships. The fascinating and beautifully illustrated volume corrected that deficiency, offering a detailed chronicle of the history and construction of the Baltimore Clipper - during the Revolution, its development from 1782 to 1812, role during the War of 1812 and eventual decline. The author has enhanced the text with over 70 meticulous line illustrations of sail plans, deck plans, and other features of some of the best-known Baltimore Clippers. The authentic plans and details reproduced here make this book an invaluable reference. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 77964
