One of those voyages that, in the words of Joseph Conrad, seem illustrations of life.
Reviews
Peffer (Watermen) is a licensed captain, a regular contributor to SAIL, WoodenBoat, Smithsonian, and National Geographic magazine, and a literature instructor at the Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. Each summer, as part of his school's "Oceans" program, he takes a number of high school students studying marine biology out on Buzzards Bay aboard the 55' wooden research schooner Sarah Abbot to explore and research the marine environment. Their voyages take them to unspoiled coves as well as busy shipping lanes, where they use seines (large nets) to gather marine specimens to monitor the health of the bay. Peffer delves into the physical and historical background of each area, telling tales of the indigenous Wampanoag Indians and relating fascinating Revolutionary War stories. He also does a fine job of chronicling the rise and fall of the whaling and shipbuilding industries. A good book for armchair sailors and an excellent view of historic Buzzard's Bay, Peffer's account is recommended for both school and public libraries.DJohn Kenny, San Francisco P.L.
