Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A superbly photographed tribute.

The Thousand Islands region is one of the most picturesque in North America. For dedicated boating enthusiasts, it is a recreational waterway without equal. For antique boat collectors, it is a mecca of glistening mahogany and hand-polished brass.

Classic Boats of the Thousand Islands explores the region's rich boatbuilding heritage, including: - the unique St. Lawrence skiff - lavish custom runabouts and sport boats - cruisers and yachts - floating limousines, sedans and commuters.

Noted boat historian Anthony Mollica Jr. guides readers on a tour of the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York, with its in-water fleet and the area's best boatbuilding and restoration shops.

Many of the boats featured are in pristine condition and have won awards in prestigious boat shows. Other reliable vintage watercraft in regular service on the river are also shown.

The boats were photographed near their boathouses, on home waters, moored dockside or at speed, giving full spray.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Timeless Photography,Wood Boats
Fantastic vintage boat photography , in a beautiful setting. Just ordered my second A. Mollica book. Visit this area each August.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very nicely done
Great book. Bought it for my dad. High quality production and beautiful photos. Sort of a who's who of the boats of this area, with all the shots taken in the local setting. Also has fun information about the area, the boats and the buildings in the background. Suitable for anyone into old wooden powerboats, and wanting something broader-ranging than the books about a specific brand of boat. Good enough to pad out a serious library, and at the same time simple enough to leave laying around ... Read More
