Lumber for homes and industry went south by sea from the Northwest.And with nothing to guide them but the wind, compass, sextant, stars and a sixth sense, the sturdy little ships struggled through fog and gales, more than half of them foundering. This is the story of those ships and of the intrepid pioneers who built them." - from the dj. Parts: 1. Golden Age of Sail; 2. Principal Builders of West Coast Windjammers; 3. Borrowing From theLogbooks, 4. Successful and Unsuccessful Windjammers; 5. The Latter Day Sa iling Vessels; three lengthy appendices (lists, tables, &c) and an index. Vg in dj. 35.00
