Ship by David Macaulay

Ship by David Macaulay

In Ship we join a group of underwater archaeologists as they search for a long-lost caravel in the reefs of the Caribbean Sea. A combination of drawings, maps, and diagrams details the ship's recovery, and as clues to the past are pieced together, a story emerges - of the triumphant birth of the ship Magdalena from Spain, and its tragic voyage to a far-away continent. Since the publication of his first book, Cathedral in 1973, David Macaulay has acquired national and international acclaim. His books have been translated into a dozen languages, and he has been honored with countless awards, including a medal from the American Institute of Architects for being "an outstanding illustrator and recorder of architectural accomplishments".

We have other books in this series available in our History Books and Geography Books sections.
