Cupertino, CA: California History Center, 1988 Local History Studies Volume 35.
Here is a fascinating and unique look at the history of the "scow schooners" of the San Francisco Bay. These were specially modified sail boats that provided a necessary lifeline in the Bay area from the last half of the nineteenth century into the opening decades of the twentieth. Olmsted combines an interesting text with a wealth of rare photographs. He acquaints his reader with their design, their commerce, the waters on which they sailed, and the lifestyle of the men who manned them.
