Books about figureheads and decorative work on ships usually state little is known about their carvers. Here Phil Thomas puts the record straight and after extensive research, writes about over 200 merchant ship carvers and around 60 master carvers who worked in the Naval Dockyards beginning around 1600 up to the 20th century. Illustrated with 75 photos, (some in colour and many not previously published), plus 47 drawings, some by the carvers themselves.
