Packed with exciting, real-life stories and detailed illustrations, this is the fascinating story of how boats and ships have transformed our world.
For thousands of years, the only way to cross the oceans was by boat. How must those first voyagers have felt, first hugging the shorelines and eventually venturing out across open seas?
On Board charts water transport through history, exploring:
- Early seafarers and the great journeys that carried people across the globe.

- Famous voyages, including circumnavigations and groundbreaking expeditions.
- Life at sea, from navigation and safety to daily routines on board.

- Surprising facts, record-breaking ships, and unusual designs from around the world.
Brought to life with rich, detailed illustrations, On Board takes readers deep into the world of seafaring, past and present. From dramatic adventures to quiet moments of discovery, every page reveals something new about how humans have explored and connected across water.
