Illustrated, folding plan at rear. 4to, blue cloth. A seminal work on the history of the American coastwise trade.

The book is especially strong in its treatment of late- developed four-, five-, six- and seven-masted schooners. In addition to the line drawings interspersed throughout the text, there is a photographic section showing vessels ranging from pretty Nova Scotian two-masters to the awful spectacle of the Thomas W. Lawson in ballast, under sail. Includes a glossary, bibliography, and index. Vg in dj. 75.00
