Excerpt from Ancient Mariners: The Story of Ships, and Sea Routes So much has been written during the last thirty years on the real significance of sea power in the history of modern civilization that no one - and surely no one who lives in the British Isles - is likely to forget the fact that the sea forms the great highway of the world. But it is not so generally recognized how vast a part ancient mariners played in building up civilization itself and spreading abroad throughout the world the rich cargoes of new ideas that stimulated peoples in outlying regions to pursue the hazardous pathway of what we call progress. Such islands as Crete and Cyprus, Sicily and Sardinia, Japan, the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, Australia, and the far-flung isles of Oceania could not even have received their original inhabitants until some sort of vessel had been devised to convey human beings across the water. This implies in the case of Australia that even the most primitive of existing peoples had to traverse the ocean - even if it was nothing more than the gap between Borneo and Celebes now known as Wallace's Line before they reached their present home. How long ago that happened we cannot even conjecture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Written by the renowned authority on ancient ships and seafaring Lionel Casson, The Ancient Mariners has long served the needs of all who are interested in the sea, from the casual reader to the professional historian. This completely revised edition takes into account the fresh information that has appeared since the book was first published in 1959, especially that from archaeology's newest branch, marine archaeology. Casson does what no other author has done: he has put in a single volume the story of all that the ancients accomplished on the sea from the earliest times to the end of the Roman Empire. He explains how they perfected trading vessels from mere rowboats into huge freighters that could carry over a thousand tons, how they transformed warships from simple oared transports into complex rowing machines holding hundreds of marines and even heavy artillery, and how their maritime commerce progressed from short cautious voyages to a network that reached from Spain to India.
