Hardcover. Susquehanna University Press, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Masterfully weaves the tale of the newly arrived Irishmen who contributed to the growth of maritime industries and who invigorated New England seaport life through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

In so doing, these groups of old and new Americans helped to forge some of the best maritime traditions of our country, which we all still share.

Dare the Wind: The Record-breaking Voyage of Eleanor Prentiss and the Flying Cloud (SIGNED BY ILLUSTRATOR)
by: Fern, Tracey/ Emily Arnold McCully

Hardcover. NY, Farrar, Straus and Giroux , 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, SIGNED BY ILLUSTRATOR on title page. Clean, tight hardcover. In the summer of 1851, the clipper Flying Cloud made the journey from New York City to San Francisco in a record-breaking 89 days and 21 hours despite several setbacks and dangers along the way. Much of the credit for that voyage goes to Ellen Prentiss Creesy, the ship's navigator. Based on the true story of that voyage, this book expertly describes Prentiss's early life, her love for the sea and the science of navigation, her marriage to Captain Perkins Creesy, and their remarkable accomplishment. Readers will find this fictionalized account gripping and inspiring. McCully's excellent watercolor illustrations include a number of period details and add a sense of movement and drama to the already exciting text. An author's note gives the factual background for the story, and a brief glossary serves to familiarize readers with nautical terms.

Gaff Rig
by: Leather, John

Hardcover. International Marine Publishing , 1st, 1989, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 269 pages. From the dust jacket: "John Leather's definitive study of the gaff rig is twofold: the practical aspects of the rig and the history of gaff rigged craft. John Leather's story of gaff rig is exciting and romantic; featuring such delightful anomalies as a yard building a smuggling cutter alongside a Naval cutter and captains fishing in winter and skippering the great many racing yachts of the late-19th century during summer. The superlative drawings complement the lucid text and the forty photographs represent a unique historical collection". Clean.
