PDF-[BOOK]-Close to the Wind: The Beaufort Scale

In 1810 a British naval officer and surveyor named Francis Beaufort developed a scale to give sailors a common language for describing the wind From 0 calm to 12 hurricane stunning artwork and jaunty prose show what life at sea must have been like for a young boy serving as a midshipman in the 1800s As William sails from Naples to the Caribbean we learn intriguing historical information and nautical terminology and witness how the wind affected daytoday life on a ship Detailed illustrations show the wind at work and readers will be engrossed and fascinated as they watch the storm develop in magnificent fullcolor paintings.
