A Portrait of A ShipDescription
It's a detailed historical account of the famous four-masted barkentine Benj. F. Packard. The book explores the ship's construction, voyages, and long career in the merchant sailing trade during the early 20th century. Morris uses photographs, maps, and historical records to show what life was like aboard the vessel for both officers and crew. It also highlights the ship's role in the declining years of commercial sail, when steam power was replacing traditional sailing ships. The book serves as both a maritime history and a tribute to one of America's well-known sailing ship's.Book Details
