Admiral of the Ocean Sea cover

Admiral of the Ocean Sea

by Samuel Eliot Morison

"A condensation of my two-volume Admiral of the ocean sea, published at the same time. All the notes have been omitted, and a good many pages of navigational data; a chapter on ships and sailing and one on the origin of syphilis have been summarized. Otherwise the two editions are identical."--Page xx.
