ROGER MARSTERS, a graduate of Dalhousie University, has been an interpreter at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax and a specialist in marine antiquarian books and documents for a Halifax book dealer. He lives on the shores of the Minas Basin.
... it is an excellent introduction to the subject for a general
reader and a worthwhile addition to the library of the
enthusiast.
Marsters has interspersed these romantic sea stories and historical
accounts with a generous number of illustrations. The result is a
visually captivating book, well deserving of its place on the
shortlist in the non-fiction category of the Atlantic Book
Awards.
Marsters' prose is lively, evocative, and, at times, moving. This
is also an absolutely gorgeous book, beautifully put together ...
it really is a small work of art.
