Great steamships once delivered thousands of visitors daily to Roton Point to enjoy one of the premier amusement parks on the eastern seaboard. Roton Point was also home to the nation's oldest continuously operated multi-hull racing club and was the birthplace of the winged sail design for C-class catamarans. In this collection of vignettes, rumrunners, a missing two-hundred-foot steamship, a national scandal and the notorious \"Long Island Express\" hurricane of 1938 that almost destroyed Roton Point all introduce readers to a grand time in New England history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Jewell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540219992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540219992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Karen Jewell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995754823935,"sku":"9781540219992","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b0bf7d29-ba4e-4435-a6fa-4d0872f85473.jpg?v=1683337654","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-rowayton-karen-jewell-9781540219992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
