Similarly unassuming, the squat, two-masted HMS Beagle, more suited to routine naval tasks, didn't look much like a ship that was to help deliver one of the most groundbreaking theories of science ever. Ships to Remember, beautifully illustrated by the paintings of Austin Dwyer, is a collection of stories about remarkable ships, some of which went on to change the course of history. Many are now famous, but some, like the tugs Yelcho, Foundation Franklin and Turmoil are virtually unknown. Two boats in particular, the Bounty's longboat and the James Caird, completed two of the most extraordinary voyages in maritime history.Spanning 1,400 years, this fascinating book includes the catastrophic sinking and eventual recovery of the Vasa, Nelson's triumph at the Battle of Copenhagen, Darwin's epochal voyage on HMS Beagle and the pivotal Second World War relief of Malta by the tanker Ohio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRorke Bryan \u003c\/b\u003eis a specialist in geomorphology and dryland management who has published widely and worked in all over the world. \u003cb\u003eAustin Dwyer\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from the Burnley School of Professional Art, Seattle, taught Illustration and Design, and co-founded Cohen-Dwyer Advertising and Marketing.
