Default Announce: Shipbuilders, Sea Captains, and Fishermen: The Story of the Schooner Wawona

Hello,

I am the author of the new non-fiction book, Shipbuilders, Sea
Captains, and Fishermen: The Story of the Schooner Wawona. The books
details the history of the 1897 lumber and fishing schooner Wawona, now
berthed in Seattle. It is the sister ship to the C.A. Thayer, the newly
restored three-masted schooner at the San Francisco National Maritime
Historical Park.

My 230-page book features 25 historical photographs, crew lists, and
details of daily life. The vessel carried lumber along the Pacific
Coast and fished for cod in Alaska. A chapter sample is available at
http://www.wawonabook.com. The book is available through Amazon.com and
Barnes & Noble. Amazon reader reviews are welcome.

Thank you.

Joe Follansbee
