Editorial Review:
Product Description:
A revision of what has become a well-known guide, Windjammer Watching on the Coast of Maine provides a systematic review of the windjammer fleet in midcoast Maine, as well as some from away that sail here. Virginia Thorndike tells us how to identify all the individual vessels and gives the histories and vital statistics for each. This is an essential guide for anyone interested in taking a windjammer cruise, for boaters cruising the coast of Maine who want to identify windjammers they see, and for armchair sailors who enjoy reading about these traditional sailing vessels, most of which began their careers as cargo carriers, pilot boats, fishermen, and private yachts.

Rating: -
Thorndike loves the Maine waters and everything about it, it seems. Her book is concise, entertaining and full of the history of Maine's Windjammer fleet -- not only how they became Windjammers, but the lives these grand schooners led before those days. Informative, and a window to an era and a part of Maine's... and our collective... heritage.
