In The Adventure of Sail 1520-1914, Captain Donald Macintyre has written a historical record of four centuries, from the first, circumnavigation of the world to the virtual disappearance of the square-rigged ship. This is followed by a selection of contemporary writings of many nations, from 1520 to 1914.
To most marine historians the Atlantic is known only as the ship that ran out of coal. The author, C. H. Milsom, has traced a long-forgotten report of a British Government investigation which shows that she could have carried on—but the chief engineer chose to believe the coal figures in his logbook and disregarded the evidence of his own eyes when he looked into the bunkers.
