DESCRIPTION:

However, for someone who isn't intimately knowledgeable with the boats of this region, it is a great comprehensive review of classic wooden boats.. Beautiful Book Glossy beautiful photos and information about the classic wooden boats on the St.Lawrence river in the Thousand Islands. Also I got it at a fraction of the same book I found in the Thousand Islands. Very high quality book.
