J. B. Stetson: The Story of a Ship

By Pierce J. G. McDonnell

J. B. Stetson: The Story of a Ship is an account of the nearly three decade life of a West Coast steam ship, chronicling her history from the man for whom she was named to her adventures under numerous owners and finally her wreck off the coast of Monterey, California, in 1934. Written by Pierce McDonnell, the great grandson of the vessel's last owner, the project began when he wanted to delve deeper into the oral history he learned from his family. The author's initial curiosity about the wreck expanded to a desire to know everything about the ship that could be found.
