[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 3 out of 5]

I finished Voyaging Under Sail and spent the rest of the day looking at strangers differently. Eric C. Hiscock has a gift for making ordinary people feel like they're carrying whole worlds. The pacing wanders, but I never minded. Recommend for people-watchers, skip if you need a plot with teeth.

If you think Voyaging Under Sail is just light reading, you missed the entire point—Eric C. Hiscock is subtly picking apart the illusions that keep society running on autopilot.

Pretty dense reference. Lots of good information that still applies today.
Includes a lot of great "plates" (images) of sailing ships that would be neat to enlarge and frame.
