He does not, it is true, go down as far even as the days of the 'America' (now more than fifty years ago), when we lost the honour that we have never been able to regain. But to write the history of modern yachting would have been a formidable addition to the already great burden of his work. We must be content, therefore, with what he has given us. With this he has evidently taken a world of pains, and the result, both as regards narrative and illustra- tions, is satisfactory. As Mr. Clark gives a few pages to quite ancient times, he might have allowed a brief notice to what is, in one sense, the most famous yacht in literature,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 03, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42114771746951,"sku":"9781540793843","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/889f9a7c92cf8543afe05a392488e7ca.webp?v=1732502576","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-history-of-yachting-1600-1815-by-arthur-hamilton-clark-illustrated-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
