Wales and the sea : 10,000 years of Welsh maritime history/edited by Mark Redknap, Sian Rees and Alan Aberg.

"Comprehensively illustrated, Wales and the Sea tells the story of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and more recent maritime history. It evokes the impact of the sea on the imagination and historical experience through coastal maps, naval paintings, seascapes, poetry, songs and popular seaside souvenirs. Archive photographs from the National Monuments Record of Wales, the National Library of Wales and National Museum of Wales bring life the age of the ocean-going liner, the cable-laying ships that connected Wales to the rest of the world, fishing boats, pleasure steamers, racing yachts and seaside piers, as well as the busy docks that supplied Welsh slate, coal, iron and steel to the rest of the world."--Provided by the publisher.
