Pat Vojtech's Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks.,
By robert powell (alta loma, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks (Hardcover)
This is a must have book for Chesapeake Bay skipjack devotees as well as others interested in work boats. Pat's over 50 beautiful color photos of skipjacks in action on the Cheapeakee Bay are worth the price by themselves. Ms Vojtech supports the photos with a facinating history of the oyster tonging and dredging along vignets of actual people in the trade. Interesting, is the discussion of economics which has extended the lfie of working sail on the Chesapeake to protect the oyster beds from depletion.

The heart and soul of the bay,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks (Hardcover)
Ms. Vojtech captures the heart and soul of the Chesapeake bay with her delightful book on skipjacks. If you think that this book is just a book of pictures, you're wrong. While the photographs are superb, it is the writing that brings to the forefront the hard and lonely life of a waterman. This book should be an essential element of personal library within a few hours drive of the bay. |
