About this title

Synopsis

A photo essay about the history of the Skipjacks, the men who sailed them, the Chesapeake Bay's natural environment and its oyster industry.

About the Author

In 1983, the annual Skipjack races took place at Sandy Point State Park, near Annapolis, MD, Doug Stephens attended the races for the first time--as a crew member aboard the Caleb. Although the vessel and its crew didn't win, the experience affected Stephens profoundly. He began photographing the vessels, the watermen who sailed in them, their owners, the surrounding rivers, marshes, marinas, wildlife.

Doug lives with his wife, Nancy, in Sharptown, MD, on the bank of the Nanticoke River.

ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish.
