Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "The era of steamboating on Casco Bay began more than 170 years ago with the arrival of Captain Seward Porter's Kennebec at Portland. From that tentative experiment in pitting steam against sail, there eventually grew an extensive network of steamboat lines connecting the Casco Bay islands with the mainland and with one another. The names of these steamers evoke memories that may have faded but are not forgotten: Island Queen, Forest City, Forest Queen, Percy V., Merryconeag, Sebascodegan, Aucocisco, Maquoit, Machigonne, and Sabino, to mention only a few. No less distinctive were the sailors who manned them, including Captain "Jimmie" Long, Captain Charlie Morrill, Engineer Bill Cook and Purser Jud Webber. The steamboat companies' shore personnel, the year-round island residents, and the summer "rusticators" also played an integral part in Casco Bay's steamboat-era history. This book is about the region's people and the steamers that were once the lifeblood of Casco Bay. Steamboat Yesterdays is the first comprehensive and definitive account of the steamboat era in the Calendar Islands region. The author, Captain William J. Frappier, spent 25 years in researching this, the first of two projected volumes. He visited archives and museums; he interviewed the now elderly men and women who recalled vividly those long-gone days when the steamboat was as much a part of everyday life as the seas that surround the Casco Bay islands; and he located many unique photographs that had lain undisturbed for decades. The first century of steamboating on Casco Bay comes vibrantly to life in Captain Frappier's tribute to the steamers and people of the Casco Bay islands." - from the inner front jacket flap.
