The Maritime History of Massachusetts 1783-1860 Originally published in 1923
Product Description
PAPERBACK 516 Pages 6x9
Originally published in 1923, from the Preface: “Here is no catalogue of ships, reader, nor naval chronicle, but a story of maritime enterprise; of the shipping, seaborne commerce, whaling, and fishing belonging to one American commonwealth. I have chosen to catch the story at half flood, when Massachusetts vessels first sought Far-Eastern waters, and to stay with it only so long as wind and sail would serve. For to one who has sailed a clipper ship, even in fancy, all later models of ocean carriage must seem decadent.” Samuel Eliot Morison
