Most of the world's ships

I enjoyed this book. It all most of the world's ships. But a little short on warships. It is a good companion to my other Ship books I got from Barnes and Nobles such as Encyclopedia of Ships and Lore of the Ship. But this one has some more sail ships. The is one of the best ship books on sail ships. It has ships from the Roman Empire. About 5 Roman ships including Roman Traders, Roman Merchantman and Roman Trieme. So if you want one of the best ship books on merchant, civilian and sailing ships. Then this is the book for you. If you want more naval ships. Recommended is Jane's Ships of World War II and from Barnes and Nobles Encyclopedia of Ships.
