خمسون سفينة غيرت مجرى التاريخ

History of World Seafaring From the Stone Age to the present day, no technology has had a more profound impact on humanity than watercraft. They enabled boats and ships to settle and conquer new worlds, determined the victors of wars that changed the course of history, and helped spread new philosophies, technologies, and religions. Even today, almost everything we buy and consume depends on maritime trade. _The book “Fifty Ships That Changed the Course of History_” is not just fun for sea lovers, but rather it is a virtual history of the world told through the boats and ships that influenced how and where people lived, the ideas they exchanged, and how they won and lost the battles that charted the course of subsequent generations and millennia. Illustrated with gorgeous drawings and photographs, the book provides a guide to how men and women navigate in every era and place.
