Publisher Synopsis
An important resource for any maritime collection, especially those with special interests in Maryland and her contributions to history and the economy. -- Cindy Vallar Pirates and Privateers This book will make a very nice addition to your maritime library. The Lone Star 2010 A poetic dedication to the state and its maritime traditions... Including superbly reproduced color and black-and-white images, this book will hold appeal for many. Choice 2011 Maritime Maryland is not merely a coffee-table book, although it would grace any coffee table. It is an absorbing, interesting study that is fact-filled but not fact-driven. The text is well-written, consistently paced, and easy to read. The book has a pleasing design. It is adequately illustrated but not cluttered with pictures... It is a clearly written, perceptive and well-rounded study of a people and their relationship with the water. -- Dennis Knepper Maritime Archaeological and Historical Society 2011 Read more...
