Description

A pictorial tribute to the boats of Penobscot Bay, which make their living carrying sight seers and eco-tourists along the coast of Maine. The images in this book are termed "photographic impressions"-paintings created from photos and software, using a stylus as the paintbrush, resulting in a unique form of artwork. In addition to the beautiful images of these boats-fourteen schooners and a ketch-Fred provides a bit of background on each of the craft. Bonus: five Maine Lighthouses.

    Great resource for planning your trip

    A unique presentation of art and photography combined. This will be my go to book for planning my trip to explore the Maine seacoast by Windjammer next summer!

    Warmed my heart.

    Lovely book. Hoping for a sequel with even more beauty and history. Part of the reason the photography (and the subjects), get to me is that I am old. The beauty and the wonder of these vessels, like steam engines and other things I remember, is a welcome shot in the arm for me. Thank everyone involved for me. I truly appreciate the book.
