Book excerpt: This is the first modern study of warship top hamper in the whole era of sail for which firm evidence is available, including the hitherto 'dark ages' of the mid-eighteenth century. When this book was first published in 1979 it was immediately recognised as the standard work on the evolution of rigging, mast-making and sail making. After two revisions, it remains the most comprehensive work on the subject.
