Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maritime Mystic
Maritime Mystic is the story Of a typical New England community which had its seafaring glory in the period which climaxed with the peak days Of the Age Of Sail. The book is the outcome Of painstaking research into the life and activities Of men and women, families and firms, sloops, schooners and Ships which helped create a heritage we must not forget. Historic data has been woven into a fabric that gives new insight into the seaport life Of the past, supplemented by fresh information concerning some Of the happenings recounted in earlier studies Of the area.
It is a happy fact that Mrs. Anderson's concept emanated from her thesis as a student at the Munson Institute Of American History which operates as a graduate seminar Of the Marine Historical Association. Much Of her source material came from the Stillman Library Of Mystic Seaport.
