In it we have the double interest of life and work at sea aboard the old square-riggers, coupled with a practical course of instructions for quickly building scenic action models of these ships maneuvering under sail....The photographic etchings showing the ships in various maneuvers described in the text are actual examples of the results model-craftsmen have achieved by following the directions laid down by Capt. Grundy."
