Fantastic imagery, in photos and text.

There is no question that the photographs in this work are wonderful, bringing "old salts" back to their environment and leaving landlubbers in awe. However, the text, as indicated by fellow reviewers, can be considered a bit obscure if you are looking for cut-and-dry captions. It should be noted that one of the most appealing aspects of the book is that it does not simply apply a caption to an associated photo but rather tells the story behind it, providing details you simply would not be privy to from viewing the picture alone.This wonderful book has been given as a holiday gift time and again in our family and has provided many a pleasurable moment flipping through the pages.

Great coffee table book...

I own a signed copy of this book, and it sits proudly on my coffee table. I have read it twice already, and each time I learn something more about a specific photograph which I had not realized before. A great collection of images, from the Civil War to imported VWs on the dock in Baltimore, MD.
