Download or read book Two Centuries of Maine Shipbuilding written by Nathan Lipfert and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment colonists at Popham launched the first ship constructed in the New World in 1608, Maine has been a shipbuilding powerhouse. Celebrating the bicentennial of Maine, historian Nathan Lipfert, in cooperation with the Maine Maritime Museum explores the rich history of Maine shipbuilding. Though concentrating primarily on shipbuilding activity in the two centuries since statehood, the book begins with pre-1820 activity, including native canoe-making (the oldest known birchbark canoe is in a Maine museum) and colonial-period shipbuilding. Covering the entire coast, this rich visual history focuses on the industry and the vessels produced, highlighting Maine’s national and international importance in shipbuilding over the past two centuries, and its continuing relevance to national security, the fisheries, yachting and harbor craft.
Download or read book Viking to Victorian written by Olaf T. Engvig and published by . This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viking To Victorian explores the use of iron in shipbuilding, from the Viking Age until the 1880s, when iron was abandoned in ship construction. The saving of historical ships built with the use of iron is emphasized. The author's practical knowledge and experience in building of iron riveted Viking ships, restoring Iap-streak long boats and his many voyages in open boats are highlighted. This book demonstrates that open boats built of iron and wood enabled the Norse to sail far and wide on the high seas. Simple, light and delicate vessels, that are lacking in comfort are capable of surviving long voyages and rough seas. The Use Of Iron in traditional Norwegian longboats and the stamp marks in the iron ships "Hansteen" and "Star of India", both built in the 1860s, have given new understanding to the importance of keeping the old iron. Publications on iron in shipbuilding are almost non-existent. This is an attempt to inspire further research, to help develop a more reflected attitude towards the protection of old products made with the world's most common material, iron. Viking To Victorian is an untraditional book, in that it combines academically oriented material with personal experience, descriptions and views. It is based on knowledge of boat building, sailing and navigation with traditional boats, and experience in the preservation of historic vessels. It reflects the new field this segment of maritime history represents, where much knowledge comes from traditional skill and non-academic sources. This book is a unique synthesis of practical and academic knowledge. It is the ultimate guide to the understanding and protection of historic artifacts made of iron.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinated since childhood with Leif Eriksson’s triumphant sailing voyage a thousand years ago from Greenland to North America, Hodding Carter could not shake his admittedly crazy idea of reenacting Eriksson’s epic journey in a precise replica of the precarious Viking cargo ship known as a knarr. This extraordinary book is the account of how he pulled it off. By turns thrilling and slapstick, sublime and outrageous, A Viking Voyage is an unforgettable adventure story that will take you to the heart of some of the most magnificent, unspoiled territory on earth, and even deeper, to the heart of a journey like no other. A celebration of the people and places Carter visits and a treasure-trove of fascinating Viking lore, here is an unforgettable story of friendship and teamwork–and the thrill of accomplishing a goal that once seemed impossible.
