The most important phases of Greek civilization are connected with the sea, through voyages of discovery, naval campaigns and ocean trading. Over the years, and due to its leading role as a means of communication, the ship also became a subject for artistic creations. The history and the evolution of the Greek ship from prehistoric times to the present day are presented through the work of known artists and anonymous craftsmen, executed in a variety of different materials. Ships were carved in stone and marble, incised on bronze, painted on clay or wood, depicted in paintings and murals, embroidered on cloth, printed on paper, offered as votives or worn as amulets. The rich illustrative material has been selected from museums and collections both in Greece and abroad.

Tall Ship Odysseys is the story of Operation Sail, organized in 1963 and first endorsed by President John F. Kennedy. This distinguished volume encompasses scores of sailing vessels, their crews, and the indivdiuals dedicated to making each OpSail occasion more spectacular than the last for millions of cheering spectators. Chapter by chapter, the text documents each event, while hundreds of historical and full-color photographs capture magnificent windjammers, from America's training ship, the USCGC Eagle, to her counterparts from Britain, Russia, Ecuador, Japan, and other seafaring nations across the globe. Atmospheric vignettes and colorful portfolios explore selected vessels and the allure of life under canvas. This book is the log of Operation Sail, racing forward like a great clipper with all set and a bone in her teeth, at once a work of art and a fascinating testament to human ingenuity and the courage of those who challenge the restless oceans of the world.
