This book uses incredibly detailed cutaway illustrations to reveal the hidden engineering of everything from historical galleons to high-speed modern racing boats. Beyond just facts, the book nurtures a sense of wonder at human ingenuity and the complexity of marine engineering. It is ideally suited for independent readers aged 7 to 11, or for younger children to explore alongside a parent.
