Burgess, Robert H.
Sea, Sails and Shipwreck: Career of the Four-Masted Schooner Purnell T. White
Publisher: Tidewater Publishers, 1970 Cambridge, MD.
ISBN: 0870331477 Book. Book condition: Near Fine. Very Good. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Few, if any, vessels have been photographed so completely 'from cradle to grave' as the four-masted schooner Purnell T. White, built in Sharptown, Maryland in 1917. She was one of the more successful and colorful sailing schooners that ranged the east coast and occasionally made trips to South American, the West Indies, the Gulf and Transatlantic voyages. She sailed commercially until 1934 - one of the last sailing schooners in the coasting trade. Robert H. Burgess, as a young man, became interested in the Purnell T. White on first sight and over the last 40 years, while she was still active and later as a hulk, he photographed and documented her religiously. By searching far and wide and utilizing his own photographs, he has assembled a rather complete photographic history of the career of the schooner Purnell T. White. The detailed treatment in picture and text is unusual in that it not only deals with the ship but with the day-to-day life on board. Reproductions of provision lists and invoices, gear and slop chest invoices and many other papers dealing with the ship's stores and supplies, repairs and shipyard accounts, help to make this a most interesting and unique biography of a ship, her officers and crews, and the socioeconomic aspects of her commercial sailing career. The Purnell T. White, as illustrated in this book and preserved for all time, is the sole example to depict the full and somewhat rigorous life of a Chesapeake-built coasting schooner. It is a deserving tribute for she was a handsome ship and did her job well." Numerous photographs. 132 pages. Book is in NEAR FINE (almost new) condition. Dust jacket is price clipped; VERY GOOD condition.

Burgess, Robert H.
Chesapeake Sailing Craft: Recollections of Robert H. Burgess
Publisher: Tidewater Publishers, 2005 Centreville, MD.
ISBN: 0870335723 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Very Good. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall "Thirty years have passed since the 1975 publication of Robert H. Burgess's classic Chesapeake Sailing Craft, and while the original edition of this book has been out of print for many years, this new expanded edition brings alive the author's photographs and recollections to a new generation of readers. Within these pages, Burgess presents a rare photographic record of the period 1925-1975, depicting the Bay sailing craft from log canoe to four-masted schooner. Robert H. Burgess's photographs show the vessels in all phases of their activities on these waters, including loading and unloading cargoes, under sail and in port, in shipyards, details of rigging, fittings, and decks, interior views, as powerboats, and abandoned hulks. No one has so thoroughly photographed the Chesapeake sailing vessels as Burgess. He applied himself to the task as though he were getting paid for it. But it was purely through a feeling for the history of the Bay and its craft, an awareness that a change was taking place, that he pursued his subject so persistently. If he had not undertaken this labor of love, most of the sailing vessels in this volume would have passed on with no photographic record of their ever having existed. Around the time of the first publication, Burgess selected approximately 150 photos for a follow-up to Chesapeake Sailing Craft. Editor, William A. Fox, interviewed him to capture his recollections of those images. But as time passed, Burgess became ill and was unable to complete the project. He died in March 2003. This edition showcases the original text, photos, and captions and adds those new 150 photos with captions by William A. Fox. The result is Chesapeake Sailing Craft: Recollections of Robert H. Burgess, a new and expanded edition of the original volume for Bay enthusiasts to enjoy. As in the original edition, all the photos in this book were taken by Robert Burgess. They appear as he saw them through the viewfinder of his camera and as he printed them in the darkroom, uncropped and unretouched." Very well illustrated. 302 pages with index. Book is in VERY GOOD to NEAR FINE condition. Dust jacket is in VERY GOOD to NEAR FINE condition.

De Long, Harriet Tracy, Illustrated by: B&W Illustrations
PACIFIC SCHOONER WAWONA
Publisher: Documentary Book Publishers Corporation Bellevue Washington 1985.
White canvas cloth stamped in gilt. 158 pages illustrated with reproductions of historic photos and documents on high-quality glazed pages. The book not only covers the buidling and the career of the Wawona, the largest three-masted schooner to be built in North America, it also relates the history of the Pacific schooners, the lumber industry, shipownders, captains, crews, cargoes, and ports. When the lumbering trade ended, the fishing trade took up these large wooden ships. The Wawona, built by master shipbuilder Hans D. Bendixsen, was one of two Pacific Coast schooners to survive, and was declared a National Historic Site in 1970. This copy was inscribed by the author.
