The Solent and the southern waters : a casual exploration of the seaways about the Isle of Wight and of the creeks and inlets from Chichester to Poole /by Herbert Alker Tripp

"The third of three books from the 1920s by Herbert (later Sir Herbert) Alker Tripp give us a wonderful feel for the waters he explores (in an age still with much working sail), and their place in the last thousand years or so of English history. Wonderfully engaging writing, with dozens of masterful pen drawings and many miniature paintings in monochrome. With beautiful typography, and a boldly spacious layout which gives both words and drawings room to breathe on their cream bookwove paper."--Provided by the publisher.
