Taming the Atlantic

The History of Man's Battle with the World's Toughest Ocean

Dag Pike
An experienced sailor, Dag Pike explains the difficulties inherent in sailing across the Atlantic before looking in more detail at the history of such voyages, covering the early pioneers, trade and migration in the 19th century, and the development of steamships and grand liners. He also explores how the challenge has been met by smaller vessels, including rafts and rowing boats, and inspired races and advances in navigation and weather forecasting.
