Large, wooden-hulled schooners graced the seas of coastal Maine for
more than a century as vessels of trade and commerce. With the
advent of steam-powered craft, however, these elegant four-, five-
or six-masted wooden ships became obsolete and vanished from the
harbors and horizons. The Edward Lawrence, the last of the
six-masters, became her own funeral pyre in Portland Harbor,
burning to ash before everyone's eyes. The Carroll A. Deering
washed ashore with no trace of her crew, empty as a ghost ship
except for three cats and a pot of pea soup still cooking on the
stove. In this testament to the beauty of the Maine coastal region,
maritime history enthusiast Ingrid Grenon tells the story of these
magnificent relics of the bygone Age of Sail and celebrates the
people who devoted their lives to the sea.
