Beschreibung

First edition, second issue, of a richly illustrated book on practical shipbuilding by Cornelis van Yk, a very important source for the history of the construction and equipment of Dutch ships in the 17th century.The first four chapters discuss and illustrate ancient and foreign ships, from Noah's ark, East Asian and Chinese ships to Spanish galleys and four experimental ships (all illustrated), including a boat built in Rotterdam in 1653, nicknamed "Het Malle Schip" (The Crazy Ship), that was driven by paddle-wheels. The present copy contains the cancel (2*1-2) in which the author has replaced his comment on Witsen's 1690 Architectura Navalis by a list of contemporary works on shipbuilding, mainly in French and English.With the binding worn, some plates with minor tears (restored) and frontispiece slightly soiled.
