Hall Brothers Shipbuilders

This book is very well researched, well written, and beautifully illustrated. It should be part of every fine maritime book collection.

I grew up in the Puget Sound region. My father shipped out as a young man right out of high school. He told stories of the sailing ships he saw as a youth growing up in Seattle. This book brought back many stories I had heard from him. The book is delightful. If you enjoy the fine curves of well-designed wooden ships you will love this book. We are all fortunate to have this book to preserve the history of the region and its ships. The Ports are still there but most are now recreational destinations. Without such research and publications their history and importance to the development of this area would be lost. The author should be congratulated on a job very well done.
