NE & the Sea...wonderful

I haven't finished this book, but bought it for a class this coming semester. I can already tell it's going to be awesome, there are so many historical photos and the content is amazing. The way the book was written, starting out with a history of the geology of the NE coastline is a fantastic way to start a maritime history book! Look forward to learning more about New England :)
