内容简介:
This revised edition of a classic work covers the history, design, construction and use of traditional, wooden inshore fishing boats in the small town of Winterton, on the shore of Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. Boat-building lore, especially the dynamics of boat design and construction, is seen from the perspective of the boat builders themselves, and is discussed within the context of the community's social, economic and natural environments. Lavishly illustrated, this book is a practical guide for boat-building enthusiasts and is a valuable resource for scholars.
