Parade of Sail in New York Harbor Staten Island Ferry T his new edition is the most comprehensive listing of surviving historic ships ever published, featuring nearly 2,000 historic ships from over 50 countries. Not only does the Register catalogue these historic ships, but it provides updates on restoration projects and lists the remains of historic ships preserved in museums, and contact information for all of the vessels. All of this is introduced by a new Preface by NMHS President Peter Stanford. Norman Brouwer has sought out these ships where they live, from the choppy, windswept waters of San Francisco Bay on the US West Coast, to the still tidal pool of hilly Bristol in England, the shallows of Russia's oft-embattled city St. Petersburg, the golden creeks of the Parana above Buenos Aires, or the muddy, busy purlieus of Myanmar's Irrawaddy.
Foreign shipping varies.
