A Summer's Yacht Cruise Along the Coasts of Maine and Labrador.
by George H. Hepworth
A charming journal of a cruise "down east" shortly after the end of the Civil War. The Nettie was a Schooner Yacht of not-identified, but certainly ample proportions, crewed by an irascible Chinese Cook, the author, some paid hands and his friends and guests. Their adventures on board and off provide a detailed and fascinating picture of life "down east" after the war. The artist of the amusing illustrations is not identified, so they are presumed to be by the author.
