Must Have!!

This is a must have if you are building a model schooner. It goes through every part of the ship with diagrams, explains how things work and also may have your ship in it. It's a 2 part book 1st part going through a list of ships and their history, 2nd part is every single part on the ship with detailed pictures. If you purchased the Benjamin W Latham like I did, DEFINITELY buy this book!
