My favorite book as a kid. I looked at all the cross sections until I knew every detail of each of the ships, including where all the people were in the ship and what they were up to. From memory I believe there are cross sections in it of the Mayflower, HMS Bounty, , an aircraft carrier, a fishing trawler, a British Man of War, a fire rescue boat and a WWI battleship which is on the cover. On each page is background on each such as their use and history.
