Stunning never before published photos cover Puget Sound and the Pacific Coast from Oregon to Alaska, made from 1910 to the present by Jeremy Snapp and his grandfather John Snapp.Here are views of working ships-the last of commercial sail, the passenger steamers of the Mosquito Fleet, and the inland freighters, tugs, barges, and lightships that were all a part of the Northwest Legacy.

About the Author
Photography, ships and the sea have interested Jeremy Snapp since he was very young. He was born in Seattle and grew up at Port Madison in the 1950's and 60's. At the age of twelve he began building boats and later worked in boatyards on Puget Sound and in Alaska. He has built over forty traditional wooden boats. He has been a freelance photographer for over 25 years.
Today the author, a licensed captain occasionally charters his 1913 eighty foot schooner, packs salmon in season and is still active in boatbuilding. He lives in Washington's San Juan Islands with his wife and three children.

Memories to remember,
By A Customer
This review is from: Northwest Legacy : Sail, Steam and Motorships (Hardcover)
Jeremey Snapps new book "Northwest Legacy" is a historical documentary for the avid maritimer. Its indepth photos suspend our imaginations in a time that should be held for future generations to reflect upon the time when steam and sail was very real to life. I have found myself intrigued over and over with individual shots of daily working life on the water and dockside, bringing fantacies of what life and work in these situations were really like in the Northwest. Three cheers! I look forward to the next books in the series.
