Maybe will be useful for trivia someday. Also Chebacco is similar to Chewbacca.

Excellent book. Lots of information about many different types of schooners. Will need to read it again if I hope to remember much of it. Nice quote from one of the builders of schooners in the Maritimes whose family had been building such boats for generations, detailing the process of how a schooner was built in the 1970's.

Small, heavily illustrated book on the history of New England and Canadian Maritime schooners. Not heavily detailed, but enough to whet your appetite for more.
