"It was only a passing mention, buried in the addenda of Lionel Casson's monumental Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World (1986), but it sent a wave of pride and excitement sweeping over me--a feeling no less than if I had discovered it myself. The first-ever bronze warship ram, completely intact. . . . for anyone fascinated by maritime archeology in general, and specifically by the Atlit ram, the book is worth every penny of its price and more."--David Brauner
