Trade Paperback. Very good in wrappers (paperback). The 19th century was the age of shipbuilding in the Maritime Provinces: all along the coast men were turning trees into ships that would sail on the world's oceans. Farmers and fishermen became master craftsmen building huge, deep-water vessels. In this beautifully illustrated volume, marine historian Stanley Spicer recaptures the age of sail and its many colourful characters. From hundreds of shipbuilders, Spicer has selected the Troops of Saint John, the Killams of Yarmouth, Joseph Cunard in Bathurst, the Peake family of Prince Edward Island, John Young of Lunenburg and the Moshers in Avondale. Through these often larger-than-life figures we explore the triumphs and tragedies of the Maritimes' great age of shipbuilding and ship owning. The Age of Sail draws on a range of rich visual resources including ship portraits, archival photographs, engravings, and artifacts displayed in the collections of leading Maritime museums, adding depth to a gripping historical account.…

"Shipbuilding in the Maritime Provinces had progressed as an industry for almost 100 years when it burst into full glory during the middle decades of the nineteenth century. These were the years of the Golden Age of Sail, when wooden square-rigged vessels were being built in every town and hamlet close enough to water to float a vessel; when Canada stood fourth among the ship-owning countries of the world and Yarmouth and Saint John were among the world's great ship-owning ports."
