Ships That Have Made History is a comprehensive book written by Gregory Robinson that explores the fascinating stories of some of the most remarkable ships in history. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different ship and its impact on the course of history. The book covers a wide range of ships, from ancient vessels like the Greek trireme and the Viking longship, to modern icons such as the Titanic and the Queen Mary.

Throughout the book, Robinson's engaging writing style brings these ships to life, making them more than just objects of historical interest.
