SHIPS AND WAYS OF OTHER DAYS

PREFACE

I desire to acknowledge the courtesy of the Master and Fellows of Magdalene College, Cambridge, for having permitted me to reproduce the three illustrations facing pages [212], [228], and [230]. These are from MSS. in the Pepysian Library. The [Viking anchor and block tackle] are taken from Mr. Gabriel Gustafson’s Norges Oldtid, by permission of Messrs. Alb. Cammermeyer’s, Forlag, Kristiania. The two illustrations on pages [123] and [132] are here reproduced by the kind permission of Commendatore Cesare Agosto Levi from his “Navi Venete.” The [Viking rowlock and rivet] are taken from Du Chaillu’s “Viking Age,” by the courtesy of Mr. John Murray. To all of the above I would wish to return thanks.

E. Keble Chatterton.
