By Ralph Shanks and Wick York. The most comprehensive book ever written on this vital part of American maritime history which has virtually disappeared. There are many stories of rescues, bravery, hardship and much, much more. Plus there is the history of the architecture and beauty of these historic buildings. Rare, fine photographs detail every station in the United States, many published for the first time. This book is an absolute must for any maritime buff and should belong in every home library. Soft cover, 262 pages.
