Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic true stories of New England maritime history, with photos. Large, wooden-hulled schooners graced the seas of coastal Maine for more than a century as vessels of trade and commerce. With the advent of steam-powered craft, however, these elegant four-, five-, or six-masted wooden ships became obsolete and vanished from the harbors and horizons. The Edward Lawrence, the last of the six-masters, became her own funeral pyre in Portland Harbor, burning to ash before everyone’s eyes. The Carroll A. Deering washed ashore with no trace of her crew, empty as a ghost ship except for three cats and a pot of pea soup still cooking on the stove. In this testament to the beauty of the Maine coastal region, maritime history enthusiast Ingrid Grenon tells the story of these magnificent relics of the bygone Age of Sail and celebrates the people who devoted their lives to the sea.

Download or read book Kittery to Bar Harbor written by Erika J. Waters and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maine's more than 3,000 miles of rocky coastline, picturesque islands, sandy beaches, iconic lighthouses, and quintessential New England harbors have lured visitors since the middle of the 19th century. Steamships first transported sportsmen and "rusticators" along the coast. Soon summer colonies formed, and art schools flourished. Expanding train travel led to the development of seaside resorts with grand hotels, while America's wealthiest families built opulent summer "cottages" in exclusive enclaves. Yachts became common sights along the coast and cruising grew in popularity. With the 20th century came the automobile and the development of the highway system, including Route 1, which encouraged road trips. The history of touring the Maine coast between 1860 and 1960 offers fascinating insight into the history of Maine, tourism, and America itself.

Download or read book Floating Palaces written by William A. Haviland and published by Penobscot Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of families who settled on an island on the coast of Maine, intending to support themselves by farming. Because this didn't live up to their expectations, they were forced to turn to the sea, going in sailing vessels to ports all over the world as key participants in a global trading network. With the later decline of maritime commerce under sail, however, a new opportunity presented itself: furnishing officers and crews for the luxury steam yachts of rich and powerful financiers and industrialists. By this time, the reputation of island mariners was such that, on presenting themselves for employment, they had merely to state that they were from Deer Isle, and they had a job.Lavishly illustrated, this book looks at the reasons why Deer Isle men developed such a high reputation as mariners, and the distinctive island culture of which this was a part. It then describes the huge luxury yachts and the men who served on these "floating palaces." The story ends with the services of these elegant yachts in World War II, and the adjustments made in the postwar era by the men who had manned them.

Download or read book Engaging the Line written by Brandon R. Dimmel and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, people living in adjacent communities along the Canada–US border enjoyed close social and economic relationships with their neighbours across the line. The introduction of new security measures during the First World War threatened this way of life by restricting the movement of people and goods across the border. Many Canadians resented the new regulations introduced by their provincial and federal governments, deriding them as “outside influences” that created friction where none had existed before. Engaging the Line examines responses to wartime regulations in several border communities, including Windsor, Ontario; Detroit, Michigan; and White Rock, British Columbia. This book brings to life the repercussions for these communities and offers readers a glimpse at the origins of our modern, highly secured border by tracing the shifting relationship between citizens and the state during wartime.
