Initially he was able to sail only downwind, but the Cretans and Phoenicians made design improvements to sails that permitted sailing across and eventually against the wind. Leo Block tells the story of the evolution of sails and relates it to historic events and other factors that affected the performance of sailing vessels.	176

History > Miscellaneous	History	9781557501677	Splintering the Wooden Wall	Naval Institute Press	30-Dec-02	42.84	Most naval historians take their cue from the work of Alfred Thayer Mahan published a century ago and view the blockade of the US during the War of 1812 as a highly effective wooden wall. Wade Dudley challenges that interpretation, and in the pages of this new study provides a bold new assessment. Rather than an impermeable wooden wall, he says the Royal Navy's blockade resembled a light picket fence that was easily splintered by American public and private navies preying on British merchantmen.	256
