Author and traditional boatbuilder Barry Thomas tells the story of building one of seafaring's most compelling vessels - the Cape Cod Catboat. The 19th century design is from the Crosby Boatshops on Cape Cod, and the vessel built is the BRECK MARSHALL which sails the waterfront at Mystic Seaport today, carrying visitors. Through informative text, photographs and fold-out drawings Thomas describes the step-by-step construction of this classic boat using techniques and tools familiar to boatbuilders in 1870. Paperback, 60pages, 54 photographs, seven fold-out drawings.
