Omtale

This extensive maritime glossary was compiled over more than thirty years by Admiral William Henry Smyth (1780–1865) and published posthumously in 1867. Ranging from 'abab' to 'zumbra', it provides more than 700 pages of definitions of nineteenth-century sailing terminology, making it an indispensable source for scholars of maritime history.
