A brief recommendation by M. Araiza
Have you ever wondered, what does an Eighteenth century candle lantern or a leather fire bucket look like? Then you need to pick up this book.
Heart of Oak was written in 2002 by James P. McGuane. A well-known photographer and filmmaker, as well as a blacksmith and sculptor.

There are chapters on navigation, deck rigging, sails, guns, gunpowder, officers, men leisure and recreation to name a few.
Photos of the ropewalk at the Royal Naval dockyard and a Mast Pond at Chatham Historic Dockyard are pictured to complement these items.
Beside every photo is a description, its current location and the size of the item. Every description explains the use of the item and it location on a ship.
