Discover the history of the three-masted schooner "Wawona" and the quirky adventures of her captains and crews in the North Pacific. "Shipbuilders, Sea Captains, and Fishermen" reveals the innovations of "Wawona"'s builder, H.D. Bendixsen. Capt. Ralph E. "Matt" Peasley, "the big overgrown kid," became the most famous ship captain in America. Capt. Charles Foss called on the heavens for a breeze by wearing his wife's hats. And the crew caught hundreds of tons of cod in the stormy Bering Sea while secretly fermenting shipboard wine with canned fruit and sourdough starter. Complete with detailed illustrations, historical photographs, and great stories, "Shipbuilders, Sea Captains, and Fishermen" recreates a world that ended with the last sailing ships.
