Five world-class marine artists exhibit some of the most breathtaking paintings of ships ever published, in huge, oversize, full-color gallery-quality reproductions. Along with the gorgeous art comes the artists' own descriptions of their subjects and explanations of how they executed their work. The term "tall ships" calls to mind the majestic beauties that graced America's Bicentennial, but this collection also features paintings of such immortals as the Bounty, the Pinta and the Nina. Enjoy the views the clipper Southern Cross saw leaving Colonial Boston Harbor; an 1870 New York Yacht Club race; and many more scenes unforgettable to lovers of art and sailing alike.
