Overview
Roger Duncan recounts four hundred years of Maine's rich maritime
history, from the early seafarers' discovery of its valuable resources
and the families that settled the land, to Maine's role in the history
of the US in peacetime and in war. He traces the changes in Maine's
economy over the past century: the demise of the coastal trade; the
burgeoning popularity of pleasure boating after World War II; the
hardships that beset the fishing and lumber industries; and the rise of
tourism. This anecdotal panorama of people, land, boats, and water will
absorb historians, nautical enthusiasts, and New Englanders alike.
