A. Ansted Livres

Focusing on nautical terminology from the 18th and 19th centuries, this illustrated dictionary serves as a comprehensive resource for sailing enthusiasts. It enhances collections related to maritime literature and addresses the growing scarcity of such historical texts. The new edition includes a specially commissioned introduction on sailing, making it both informative and accessible. This vintage book is a valuable addition for anyone interested in the rich language of the sea.

Ansted’s comprehensive and illustrated dictionary of nautical terms – first published in 1919 – contains the basic 18th and 19th century terminology of boat sailing. Intended to meet the needs of beginners, also readers familiar with seamanship matters may be taken with the descriptions of the old art of sailing. This book is a reprint of the third edition from 1933.
