Sobre este artículo
Toronto / Erin: Stoddart / Boston Mills, 1993. 196 pp, oblong (8 3/4" H x 11 1/4" D). B&w photographs, folded b&w route map laid in at front. "The era of steamboating on Casco Bay began more than 170 years ago with the arrival of Captain Seward Porter's 'Kennebec' at Portland. From that tentative experiment in pitting steam against sail, there eventually grew an extensive network of steamboat lines connecting the Casco Bay islands with the mainland and with one another. (This) is the first comprehensive and definitive account of the steamboat era in the Calendar Islands region. The author spent 25 years in researching this, the first of two projected volumes. He visited archives and museums; he interviewed the now elderly men and women who recalled vividly those long-gone days when the steamboat was as much a part of everyday life as the seas that surround the Casco Bay islands; and he located many unique photographs thta had lain undisturbed for decades." Very light wrinkling at the top/bottom of the hinges, slight lean to the spine, light waviness to the bottom of the text block. Dust jacket has light rubbing, edge wrinkling - mainly at the top of the spine and flap-folds.. Not Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
