About This Collection
A cruise ship stacks multiple decks with rows of rectangular cabin windows.
A sailboat cuts across gentle waves with two triangular sails and two gulls overhead, and a submarine has three round portholes, a conning tower with a small periscope and a rear propeller. The Coast Guard Rescue Boat is an open patrol vessel with a radar mast and a spotlight on the roof. Two pages show the Mayflower, the famous Pilgrim ship, under full sail with three masts, round portholes along the hull and a flag at the masthead.
The sailboat and the submarine are the simplest and suit ages 3 to 5. The pirate ship and the Mayflower have rigging, planks and portholes for ages 6 and up. Blue waves and brown wood handle most of it.

How does a sailboat move without an engine?
The wind pushes on the sails, and a keel under the boat keeps it from sliding sideways. The Sailboat design shows the sails filled with wind.
