Speed Under Sail of Ancient Ships

Speed Under Sail of Ancient Ships

Lionel Casson
5/5 ( ratings)
Sailing ships were the backbone of ancient commerce and travel. They carried freight, passengers, news. How fast could they move from port to port? The question, an old one, has been dealt with numbers of times. The handbooks and the economic histories have taken it up in detail and even the general histories have given it a passing word.

Transactions of the American Philological Association Vol. 82 , pp136‑14
