The Black Gate

THIS OLDE SHIP


by Owen of Minoc

        This tome contains much more than just the fundamentals for building ships and other assorted sailing vessels, it has everything any shipwright could ever need. The text is aimed at amateurs (which is what most of thou are in comparison) but holds jewels of wisdom for even the almost skilled shipwright. The latter part of this fine manual is dedicated to the repair of damaged ships, and makes a distinction between working on one's own ships and those crafted by others.
