INFORMATIVE, GOOD READING
This is a text book with many fine b&w photographs illustrating its subject. The book explains the development of the schooner type boat from the eariest settlements in America to its final usage in the 20th century as a common carrier on the Cheasapeake Bay and the high seas. You also learn of some of the people that sailed on these craft, how they were used in time of war and how a few (too few) have survived and are being sailed with passangers today. Anyone interested in wooden boats, sailing or the maritine history of the Chesapeake and the Eastern United States will enjoy this book. It is well researched and well written.
