Ship

Ships are perhaps the most important mode of transportation ever invented. In Ship, Gregory Votolato explores the fiction and the reality of modern ships, the technology that creates them, and the events that can lead to disasters such as the Amoco Cadiz or Exxon Valdez. Votolato delves into the world of the ship, describing the unpredictable and often-hostile environment of the oceans and its weather, the threat of piracy, and the captains and crews responsible for ships at sea. Ship’s broad overview of ship technology and design offers unique insights.
