Before there was a U.S. Navy, several Colonial navies were all-volunteer--both the crews and the vessels. From its beginnings through World War II, the Navy has relied on civilian sailors and their fast vessels to fill out its ranks of small combatants. Beginning with the birth of the yacht in the Netherlands in the 17th century , this illustrated history traces the development of yacht racing, the advent of combustion-engine power and the contribution privately owned vessels have made to national defense. Vessels conscripted during the Civil War served both the Union and Confederacy--sometimes changing sides after capture. The first USS Wanderer saw the slave trade from both sides of the law. Aboard the USS Sylph, Oscar-winning actor Ernest Borgnine fought the Third Reich's U-boats under sail. USS Sea Cloud made history as the first racially integrated ship in the Navy, three years before President Truman desegregated the military.

Ship portraits include paintings, prints, and photographs. A ship portrait is often more than just an image of a vessel. This book focuses primarily on paintings and prints, discussing the content of a portrait and how to interpret the information in it. For the new collector and current collector alike, students, ship modelers, and curators this book includes tools to help you navigate sources, auctions, research, flags, funnel marks, signatures, attributions, dates, condition, details, and restoration of ship portraits.
