Includes the story of all that the ancients accomplished on the sea from the earliest times to the end of the Roman Empire. This title explains how they perfected trading vessels from mere rowboats into huge freighters that could carry over a thousand tons and how they transformed warships from simple oared transports into complex rowing machines.
