Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the unique role of a fleet of cast-off merchant boats, this book chronicles their vital service to over 50 remote Bahamian communities. It details the journeys of more than 200 vessels and the dedicated mariners who navigated challenges like hurricanes and political changes to deliver essential goods. The narrative includes the boats' varied origins, from European purchases to local constructions, and their fates, including becoming wrecks or being sold abroad. Enriched with 150 color photographs, etchings, and charts, it offers a visual and historical exploration of this maritime legacy.
