Sailing Books by Howard I. Chapelle
The American Fishing Schooners : 1825-1935;
A reader from Beaumont, Texas , July 31, 1998
The ultimate history of the design of the fishing schooners.
Howard Chapelle, the dean of American watercraft historians completed this
final work a few years before his death. Not particularly rich in "sea lore",
it is nonetheless the standard resource regarding this American arche-type
of design. Enhanced with numerous photographs, lines drawings and sketches
of rigging and deck gear, it is a valuable resource. It is a complement to
other volumes of Chappelle's work.

This most favored book on the subject, written primarily for the beginner,
gives directions for the use of tools and suggestions for handling the many
problems involved in yacht designing, and describes in detail the lines of
a yacht as it is done in actual practice.
The History of the American Sailing Navy -- Howard Chapelle; Hardcover
Reviews
Book Description
Howard Chapelle was one of America's most distinguished naval historians.
His crowning achievement, The History of the American Sailing Navy, has long
been out-of-print, but its treatment of the subject remains unparallelled.
Accompanying the authoritative text are detailed plans of over 50 sailing
vessels as well reproductions of contemporary paintings and drawings. Lincoln
Colcord said: "Chapelle, in my opinion, has the soundest ideas on the history
of naval architecture and the development of American ship types of any man
writing on the subject...HIs work will be of permanent historical value.
