Dustjacket little rubbed, in mylar cover. . 8vo 8" - 9" tall. The early voyages into the deep waters of the Atlantic rank among the greatest feats of exploration. In tiny, apparently fragile vessels the Irish monks searched for desolate places in the ocean in which to pursue their vocation;their successors, the Vikings, with their superb ship-building skills, created fast, sea-worthy craft which took them far out into the unknown, until they finally reached Greenland and America. G.J. Marcus looks at the history ofthese expeditions not only as a scholar and historian, but also as a practical sailor. Besides the problem of what these early explorers actually achieved, he poses the even more fascinating question of <I>how</I> they did it, without compass, quadrant, or astrolabe. From the opening descriptions of the launching of a curach on the Aran Islands, through the great pages of the Norse Sagas describing the first recorded sighting of America, the author brilliantly conveys the excitement and danger of the conquest of the North Atlantic in a narrative that is based equally on scholarly research and sound seamanship.<BR> <P>G.J. MARCUS's previous books include <I>The Maiden Voyage</I>, on the sinking of the Titanic. <P>Reprint; first published in 1980. . more information
