This review is from: Young Men and the Sea: Yankee Seafarers in the Age of Sail (Hardcover)
Daniel Vicker's book has become my most-recommended book on the subject, a deeply, broadly, impeccably researched work, well-organized, of beautiful, eloquent, and exemplary historical writing.

This review is from: Young Men and the Sea: Yankee Seafarers in the Age of Sail (Hardcover)
This is an amazing work. The author uses a number of unpublished sources to put together the history of maritime commerce in colonial Massachusetts, through the lens of Salem harbor. There is a great deal for the economic and social historian as well as many great stories about seafaring. A wonderful addition to his Farmers and Fishermen of Essex County. If you have shown enough interest in this book to search the reviews then it is clear this is the book for you.
