The author Patrick O'Brien published a book for children in 2001 titled The Great Ships which features 17 famous ships throughout history. You can get it from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0802787746/?tag=encyclopediatita
Here are the 17 ships listed in the book in order. Note: One entry includes two ships and another includes three ships.

Do you like this list? And would you have added or removed some ships?
I personally think it's an exceptional list of important ships for a children's book that consists of 40 pages. I wonder how the author decided to choose those ones. Most of them are quite famous so their inclusion, like the Titanic's, is no surprise.
