An excellent guide to Maine's heritage on the water!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Thorndike loves the Maine waters and everything about it, it seems. Her book is concise, entertaining and full of the history of Maine's Windjammer fleet -- not only how they became Windjammers, but the lives these grand schooners led before those days. Informative, and a window to an era and a part of Maine's... and our collective... heritage.
