The Rise and Demise of the Largest Sailing Ships: Stories of the Six and Seven-Masted Coal Schooners of New England 
Available in paperback, hardcover, and as an eBook for all devices.
|
In the early 1900s, New England shipbuilders constructed the world’s largest sailing ships amid social and political reforms. These giants of sail were the ten original six-masted coal schooners and one colossal seven-masted vessel, built to carry massive quantities of coal and building supplies, and measured longer than a football field! This self-published book, balanced with plenty of color and vintage images, showcases the historical accounts that followed these mighty ships. These true stories include competitions, battling destructive storms, acts of heroism, and their final voyages. |
New England Lighthouses:
Famous Shipwrecks, Rescues and Other Tales
This book was developed to provide the reader a series of stories that encompass the brave men and women of New England who risked their lives at or near New England’s lighthouses. These individuals were not only part of the lighthouse, lifesaving, and revenue cutter government services of the 19th and early 20th centuries, but also encompass a town’s own citizens, local mariners, or a ship’s captain and crew, who would also risk their lives alongside their government counterparts in helping those in distress.
You'll find this book and the New England lighthouse tourism books from the publisher Schiffer Books, or in many fine bookstore. Enjoy!
