Description
Archaeological finds from Wales? including Bronze-Age boats, Roman ships and their cargoes, the medieval Newport ship and the seventeenth-century royal yacht Mary? testify to the long history of Wales as a seafaring nation. 'Wales and the Sea', written by some of Wales?s foremost historians and archaeologists, reminds us of this long and hugely important maritime legacy.0Fully illustrated, the book tells the story of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and more recent maritime history. It evokes the impact of the sea on the artistic imagination through coastal maps, naval paintings, seascapes, poetry, song and popular seaside souvenirs.0Archive photographs from the National Monuments Record of Wales, the National Library of Wales and National Museum Wales bring to life the age of the ocean-going liner, the cable-laying ships that connected Wales to the rest of the world, the pleasure steamers, racing yachts and the seaside piers as well as the busy docks that supplied slate, coal, iron and steel to the world.
