Reading this book started me on the search for others like it. Recently, I picked up Sailing Ships of New England by George Francis Dow. If you’re interested in this sort of thing, I highly recommend it. It’s full of great illustrations and makes for a great follow-up to Down to the Sea.

….poignant,funny,suspenseful,loving story of Capt. Sharps’ ‘oneness’ with the sea,a downeaster with a wry smile and a sixth sense for getting out of some darn close calls , tenacious with a huge heart….but then again I love sailing !!!!
