Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a great read, with lots of local history and for me were several "I didn't know that" moments. It is wonderfully illustrated with lots of great old local photos. --The Westerner, Spring 2011

Many historic photographs -- Wooden Boat Magazine, Dec. 1998

Ommundsen tells a straightforward story and leaves nothing out -- Island Tides , Jan. 27, 2000

One of the book's strengths is its extensive use of historical photos -- Pacific Yachting, Dec. 1997

Should appeal to many readers. -- British Columbia Historical News, Spring, 1999
