You don't have to be a maritime history buff--or even a sailor--to
find Lincoln Paine's Ships of the World fascinating. Certainly no
scholar or student of the history of ships will want to be without it: it
consists of more than 1,000 alphabetical entries describing individual ships'
histories and fates. Yet because of the author's flair for language and the
skill with which he has made his selections, the book is a browser's
delight--almost a short-story collection. Look up an entry on any celebrated
vessel--the Titanic, the Monitor, the Lusitania--and
you'll find an admirably concise history of the boat and the events that
made it famous. But browsing turns up countless unexpected pleasures
