A Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket. The author has documented the maritime history of inter-island transportation beginning with canoes up to the tug and barge era. He describes the challenges sailors met conducting island trade with tricky winds and dangerous landfalls. He also mixes high seas adventure with the islands' history including island unification, the sugar boom, and the development of the tourist trade. But at the book's heart are the ships and those who battled the elements in the name of commerce.
