The ship asunder : a maritime history of Britain in eleven vessels
Nancollas, Tom, 1988-2023
Book
If Britain's maritime history were embodied in a single ship, she would have a prehistoric prow, a mast plucked from a Victorian steamship, the hull of a modest fishing vessel, the propeller of an ocean liner and an anchor made of stone. We might call her Asunder, and, fantastical though she is, we could in fact find her today, scattered in fragments across the country's creeks and coastlines. This book collects those fragments for a profound and haunting exploration of our seafaring past.
