520    The book provides a fascinating insight into the history 
       of sailing explored through a hundred objects that have 
       been pivotal in the development of sailing and saling 
       boats. From the earliest water-borne craft, through 
       magnificent Viking warships, to the technology that powers
       some of the most sophisticated modern yachts, the book 
       also covers key developments such as keeps, and 
       navigational aids, including the astrolabe, sextant, and 
       compass. Other more apparently esoteric objects from all 
       around the world are also explored, including the 
       importance of citrus fruit in the prevention of scurvy, 
       scrimshaw made from whalebone, and the meaning of sailor's
       tattoos. -- publisher
