Ships That Opened the World

We invite readers on an exciting journey around the world, which they will undertake on thirteen ships. One chapter — one story of a vessel, with its structure, famous voyages, and achievements.

What do a Chinese junk and a jewelry box have in common? Why did the Age of Great Discoveries begin with the caravel? Which ship can sail both on water and on land?

This book will help prepare for history lessons and fill family evenings with conversations about seas and distant travels.
