Introduction: the birth of a maritime community
Shipbuilding on the Merrimack
Tawdry times on the old waterfront
Crossing the Atlantic in 1760
Captains courageous: notes on bluewater skippers
A Newburyporter sails for the gold rush
Memories of a seaman who started as a child
A seaside girl remembers captains in the neighborhood
Now let us praise famous women
Women sail to Calcutta and Bombay on the Elcano, 1875-76
Captain's wife remembers maritime Newburyport
You needed luck if you went fishing
The Coast Guard got its start here
Age of sail is gone but the mansions remain.
