Ships of the redwood coast
This is the classic book about the 225 wooden steam ships, called steam schooners, that operated on the Pacific coast from the 1880s to 1947. It was written at the end of the trade when only seven wooden steamers were still sailing. Here are old time sea stories -- true tales of shanghaied sailors, wild sailor towns, windjammers, hell ships, and just plain adventure
