Ships' Figureheads: The Decorative Bow Figures of Ships

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is the story of the carved wooden bow decorations that once, when sea traffic took place exclusively in wooden ships and under sail, adorned almost every stem. As a result of an inclusive international documentation project of the Deutschen Schiffahrtsmuseums, nautical historians Hans Jurgen Hansen and Clas Broder Hansen present this work. Some 100 illustrations show the variety of figurehead types.
