Schooner

SCHOONER, written and illustrated by Pat Lowery Collins, is clear, intelligent, and useful; beautifully and intelligently illustrated and gracefully written. A contemporary youth engagingly describes the building of a schooner from laying her keel to launching her, making unfamiliar terms easy to grasp. What it took to construct these vessels when most of them were built, that is, in the centuries before power tools, also is part of the story. Any school or public library would do well to acquire SCHOONER, and surely it is a must for any library within fifty miles of a coast.
