Description

The American Sailing Navy chronicles the stories, ships, and sailors of the U.S. Navy from its earliest beginnings when the wind was the only source of energy to power these ships. Much of our history and language has its roots in these wooden ships as we expanded America's influence from the original 13 colonies.

The American Sailing Navy is an excellent addition to your vintage Navy collection or home library.

Condition

The American Sailing Navy is in good shape for its age with no rips or tears. Please note the wear on the cover, and the previous owner's name stamped on the inside page.

Please use pictures as a guide. Have any questions or need more photos, ask.

Book dimensions:10x8x1

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
