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.
