DESCRIPTION:
Great book for a maritime fan I recently bought this book and as a avid maritime fan, I enjoy it. There are plenty of items in the book and the photos are great. Short of going to the museum, this is as good as it gets!

Some of the most special items include a love token from Nelson to Emma Hamilton; a watch from the RMS Titanic, its time frozen at 3:07 a.m.; and the legendary timepieces of John Harrison.
