About this ebook
Nationally recognized maritime artist Loretta Krupinski's meticulously rendered oil paintings show fascinating details of Maine's waterfront towns in their heyday, when fishing, quarrying, and the cargo trade were the backbone of the coastal economy. Historic photographs and text about how Maine people made their living 70 to 150 years ago round out this rich and varied portrayal of a past way of life.
