By A Customer
This review is from: Charleston's Maritime Heritage, 1670-1865: An Illustrated History (Hardcover)
An excellent book; well-researched, with many interesting illustrations (both color and black&white), with informative text. Gives a new perspective on Charleston's role as a leading port and center of commerce. Widely purchased and read by those of us who live in the "Holy City".

Fascinating and worth every buck!, February 26, 2003
This review is from: Charleston's Maritime Heritage, 1670-1865: An Illustrated History (Hardcover)
We have lived in Charleston for 20 years and always marvelled at its maritime attributes and now we have a way to learn all about its history as relates to the importance of its port, its naval history and its shipbuilding industry over the centuries. Mr. Coker's illustrations are beautiful, and his appendices are wonderful. Much valuable research, on a subject that really needed it, went into this one!
