About This Item
Mystic, CT: Mystic Seaport Museum Inc, 1984. 2nd Ed. Paperback. Oblong. 336 Pgs.. Nr Fine. Wake of the Coasters, The American Maritime Library: Volume II by John F Leavitt. Published by Mystic Seaport Museum Inc, Mystic, CT, 1984. 2nd Edition. Paperback. No DJ. Oblong. Condition: Nr Fine. 208 Pgs. ISBN 091337234X. An informal history of New England's coasting trades. From colonial times until well into the 20th century, waterborne, wind-driven ''trucks'' carried cargo between coastal ports large and small. In 1919 the author, age 14, shipped aboard his first coaster, and for the next 7 years he was a hand on a succession of Maine and Connecticut schooners. In this book he recollects the men, the cargoes, the schooners, and the northeastern ports at which they called. Combining a lifetime of research with firsthand experience, he has produced a detailed and highly readable account of an era that was terminated by highways and truck traffic over 50 years ago. Illustrated with line drawings and black & white photos. Description text copyright 2017 BooksForComfort. Item ID 32125.
