Ships, Boats And Craft

Beck, Stuart E
1942. Herbert Jenkins Ltd , London, England

A simple but charming book probably aimed at older children with clear small black and white illustrations and descriptions of every possible floating vessel, four to a page. Interesting also because it is the third printing actually done during WWII dictating its simplicity and the paper-stock used.
