Fascinating Photo History,
By
This review is from: Gloucester on the Wind: America's Greatest Fishing Port in the Days of Sail (Images of America) (Paperback)
A lot of information, mostly very interesting and well-presented. Its appeal is quite general, to anyone interested in colorful local history and the sea, not just to those with esoteric fascinations with fishing industry history or old boats. The main draw, though, is the collection of photographs, some very old, capturing a largely vanished way of life and yet showing a lot of similarities between they that go down to the sea in ships today and their ancestors. The text and photos work together beautifully to give a feeling for a very difficult way of life and the very real and ever-present danger.
