A familiar sight at Maine Maritime Museum is the William T. Donnell home, now refurbished and on exhibit. In this circa 1903 photograph, the schooner behind it is probably the "Elizabeth Palmer", built by Percy & Small. From "Patriarch of Maine Shipbuilding", photo courtesy of Maine Maritime Museum.

 		Patriarch of Maine Shipbuilding: The Life and Ships of Gardiner G. Deering is a beautifully produced book about the diehard shipbuilder Gard Deering in the "City of Ships," Bath Maine. Ken Martin tells the story of this remarkable man and his ninety-nine schooners, and has pulled together a wonderful collection of historic photographs and art. This one is a gem!
             You'll find a rich collection of maritime books on these pages, but many of our "Maine & New England" books also cover maritime topics, so please browse those pages, too.
