The Book of Wooden Boats, Volume II

A magnificent collection of beautiful vessels by the photographer of the highly successful Calendar of Wooden Boats.

For almost two decades Benjamin Mendlowitz has traveled the globe to photograph wooden boats. His talent, born from passion for the subject, is unsurpassed. In his calendars and previous books he has already given us a record that ranks with the Rosenfelds and Beken of Cowes as the premier nautical photographic sources. Here Mendlowitz collaborates again with noted marine historian Maynard Bray to present 90 of the world's most interesting and photogenic boats, from simple prams and work boats to glorious classic sailing and power yachts. 200 color photographs.

"Benjamin's . . . unfailing eye for light and color has created photographs of unmatched beauty."—Jonathan Wilson, editor, WoodenBoat magazine

"What we're looking at is some of the finest wooden boat photography in the world. And Maynard Bray—boatbuilder, author, maritime-preservation expert—provides thoughtful information. It's a great combination—rich photographs and plain facts."—Joseph Gribbons, editor, Nautical Quarterly
