Letters from Sea, 1882-1901: Joanna and Lincoln Colcord's Seafaring Childhood

Based on the letters, logbooks, and photographs of Joanna and Lincoln Concord--fifth generation seafarers--this handsome book brings to light an important cache of maritime history. Lincoln, in his memoirs, states, "I knew no other home than a ship's deck, except the distant home in Maine that we visited for a few weeks every year or two."
