Readers of every age will find something to dive into in this wonderfully diverse and in-depth exploration of the maritime world. As in his previous book, planes, Jan Van der Veken takes a kaleidoscopic approach to his subject.

Deftly weaving history, science, and culture, he looks at a fascinating array of subjects--historic vessels, amazing voyages, extraordinary figures, technical details, and cultural phenomena. Throughout the book, Van Der Veken’s vibrantly colored, retro-futurist illustrations are as beautiful as they are informative.

Readers will learn: 
• Why seas have streets 
• Which bodies of water are considered cursed
• How a ship stays afloat
• How to use a sextant
• How lighthouses work

Certain to provide hours of entertainment, this is the perfect book for naval enthusiasts of every age!
