| book description |
Set sail for a journey through time and around the world . . . Packed with exciting, real-life stories and detailed illustrations, this is the fascinating story of how boats and ships have transformed our world. For thousands of years, the only way to cross the oceans was by boat. How must those first voyagers have felt, first hugging the shorelines and eventually venturing out across open seas?  On Board charts water transport through history, exploring: Early seafarers and the great journeys that carried people across the globe. How boats and ships have changed over time, from simple craft to modern engineering. Famous voyages, including circumnavigations and groundbreaking expeditions. Life at sea, from navigation and safety to daily routines on board. Remarkable vessels from history, including iconic ships and ancient discoveries. Inspiring figures who changed maritime history, such as lighthouse keeper Grace Darling, who saved lives at sea and Hugh Mulzac, the first Black US shipmaster. Surprising facts, record-breaking ships and unusual designs from around the world. Brought to life with rich, detailed illustrations, On Board takes readers deep into the world of seafaring, past and present. From dramatic adventures to quiet moments of discovery, every page reveals something new about how humans have explored and connected across water. Perfect for curious readers who love history, technology and adventure – step aboard and start your journey today!
