[From front jacket flap] This is the story of the carved wooden bow decorations that once, when sea traffic took place exclusively in wooden ships and under sail, adorned almost every stem. As a result of an inclusive international documentation project of the Deutschen Schiffahrtsmuseums, nautical historians Hans Jurgen Hansen and Clas Eroder Hansen present this work. It begins with a report on the mythological origin of the bow decoration, which had a long life in seafaring superstition. The book continues to show the development of figureheads from the Polynesians, Phoenicians, and Vikings to the high point of the gloriously decorated Renaissance and Baroque ships. Then it moves on to the imaginative, original variety of the figureheads of the 18th and 19th Centuries, the last windjammers and the school sailing ships that are still in use today. Some 100 illustrations show the variety of figurehead types. Thirty-two pages of large colored photos show their beauty and evoke the romance that once was linked with them when they looked down from the high prows of sailing ships at the foaming sea below.
