Growing Up in a Shipyard: Reminiscences of a Shipbuilding Life in Essex, Massachusetts
No Customer Reviews
Dana Story is the last of many generations of Essex men to labor in the town's renowned shipyards. Having grown up in his father's shipyard, Story tried to carry on the trade after World War II, but by then wooden shipbuilding was an anachronism, and his yard failed in 1948. In this candid reminiscence, Dana Story captures the spicy character of a coastal New England town. With obvious fondness he brings to life the shipyard gangs, men of long experience, proud and eccentric. This is an engaging account of a vanished segment of New England life.
