THE SALT-WATER MEN Canada’s Deep-Sea Sailors - 1957 HcvDJ 1st ed Introduction

Title: THE SALT-WATER MEN: Canada’s Deep-Sea Sailors Description: This is book #15 in the Great Stories of Canada series. The Salt-Water Men is a tale of great captains and great seamen. They were Canadians, or they sailed in ships Canadians had built, and most of their names have been forgotten, even in the ports from which their tall-masted vessels put out. But now Joseph Schull has brought these iron men in their wooden ships to life again. Here is James Smith who built the Marco Polo at Saint John, New Brunswick, and Bully Forbes who sailed her (“the fastest ship in the world” ) and wore her name on his tombstone when he died. Here is W.D. Lawrence and his son in-law, Jim Ellis of Shubenacadie, and the mighty W.D. Lawrence, “the largest sailing ship afloat.” Written by: Joseph Schull Illustrated by: Ed McNally Genre: Children’s / Young Adult - History - Canadiana - Series Cover: Hardcover with Dust Jacket Publisher & Date: Macmillaan - 1957 - First Edition Approximate Dimensions: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” – 144 pages Condition: Book = Very Good.
