Book excerpt: The archaeology of maritime cultural landscapes offers insights into cultural traditions, social transitions, and cultural relationships that reach beyond the narrow confines of waterfronts and beach strands and helps construct meaningful social histories. The long shore of California is not limited to the land that borders the Pacific Ocean, but includes the navigable waters that reach inland, the off-shore islands, and the riverways flow to the sea. Authors investigate the multifaceted character of maritime landscapes and maritime oriented communities in California’s equally diverse cultural landscape; viewed through an archaeological lens, and emphasizing social behavior and community as material culture in order to reveal intersections and commonalities.

Download or read book Farallon written by Steve K. Lloyd and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1910, the steamship Farallon ran aground in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The crew and passengers reached the barren, ice-strewn shore and awaited their fate, fearful that rescuers would arrive too late. A compelling photographic record of the shipwrecked party was made by amateur shutterbug John E. Thwaites, the ship's mail clerk. Fortunately, most of the party was rescued one month after the shipwreck. Six others, who had set off in a small lifeboat in search of help, were rescued later. Lloyd brings to life a riveting tale of hardy seafaring men who survived hunger and despair under brutal circumstances.

Book excerpt: Exquisite collection of photos from the Museum Archives of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Many were made with old large (and slow) film resulting in extraordinary detail and contrast.

Chapters begin with a page of introduction to such subjects as ports of the Pacific, shipbuilding, the navy. Aside from its obvious place in history collections, this book will grace photography libraries. Chronicle Books grows more admirable with each season.
