The book explores the rich history of the three-masted schooner Wawona, highlighting the innovative shipbuilder H.D. Bendixsen and the colorful captains and crews who navigated the North Pacific. Capt. Ralph E. "Matt" Peasley, known for his playful nature, and Capt. Charles Foss, who humorously sought breezes with his wife's hats, are among the intriguing figures featured. The narrative includes tales of adventurous cod fishing in the Bering Sea, complete with shipboard winemaking antics. Illustrated with historical photos, it captures a bygone era of sailing.
