Summary

Boat Facts explores the profound impact of maritime vessels on civilization, tracing their evolution from simple canoes to advanced cruise ships and submarines. Boats have been pivotal in facilitating global trade, exploration, and warfare, significantly influencing cultural exchange and technological innovation.

Early boat builders displayed remarkable ingenuity, evident in vessels like Egyptian feluccas and Viking longships, showcasing the scientific principles of buoyancy and hull design.

The book investigates boats' crucial role in the Age of Exploration, particularly vessels like the caravel and galleon, which enabled European powers to establish global trade routes. These voyages profoundly affected cultural exchange, resource distribution, and geopolitical power dynamics.

Modern boat technology, including the design and construction of large cruise ships and submarines, presents complex engineering challenges. By examining archaeological findings, historical records, and engineering reports, Boat Facts offers fresh insights into the evolution of boat technology.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with ancient watercraft, moving through the Age of Exploration, and concluding with modern maritime engineering, recognizing the limitations of covering every single boat ever made and instead focuses on representative examples. This comprehensive approach provides a deeper appreciation for the ingenuity and innovation that have shaped the maritime world.

The Kingdom of the Isles -...

R. Andrew McDonald

This study explores the history of the western seaboard of Scotland (the Hebrides, Argyll and the Isle of Man) in a formative but often neglected era: the central middle ages, from the mightly Somerled to his descendant John MacDonald, the first Lord of the Isles (c. 1336).
Drawing on a variety of sources, this very readable narrative deals with three major and closely interrelated themes: first, the existence of the Isles and coastal mainland as a kingdom from c.1100 to 1266; second, the rulers of the region, Somerled and his descendants, the MacDougalls, MacDonalds and MacRuaris; and third, the often complex relations among the Isles, Scotland, Norway and England. A fully rounded history emerges, which transcends national viewpoints.
While political history predominates, the changing nature of society in the isles is emphasised throughout, and separate chapters address the church and monasticism as well as the monuments – the castles, monasteries, churches and chapels that form an enduring legacy.
