Super Cargo Ships (Enthusiast Color Series)by Christopher Batio
|
Interesting Book on an Important Subject, May 11, 2006 Reviewer:Argot (Rain Hill, UK) - Global commerce exists mainly because of ships, and this book gives a great introduction into the types of ships that fuel the world's economies. The chapters on Container Ships and Tankers were very informative and the sidebar on shipbreaking was a real eye opener. Highly recommended.
Book Description
Some of the most awe-inspiring ships on today's seas are the massive cargo ships that transport immense loads from continent to continent. From container ships to oil tankers, Super Cargo Ships provides an up-close look at these awesome vessels, from their construction and design to their operation on the high seas and at port. Batio also examines tragedies, such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill, that have prompted safety improvements. Highlights include a look at military cargo ships and stories of modern pirates seizing these massive merchant vessels.
