{"product_id":"dorothy-elizabeth-roger-f-duncan-9780393339277","title":"Dorothy Elizabeth: Building a Traditional Wooden Schooner","description":"This is the story of \u003cem\u003eDorothy Elizabeth\u003c\/em\u003e, a 28-foot schooner. Particularly, it is the story of why to build a traditional wooden sailing vessel that relies on age-old methods and materials, yet also embraces newfangled technologies. But mostly it is the story of the people--a score of craftsmen and craftswomen, friends, and family--who give their skill, advice, support, ingenuity, and time to turn the idea of \u003cem\u003eDorothy Elizabeth\u003c\/em\u003e into a graceful, seaworthy reality. You will meet Ralph Stanley of Southwest Harbor, Maine, one of the world's great designers and builders of traditional wooden boats, and a disarmingly plainspoken master craftsman in the maritime Maine tradition. You will meet Mary Chandler Duncan, a poet and the author's wife, soul mate, and first mate. You will meet Nat Wilson, sail maker, who took time out from building topsails for the USS \u003cem\u003eConstitution\u003c\/em\u003e to build sails for \u003cem\u003eDorothy Elizabeth\u003c\/em\u003e. You will meet Frank Luke, neighbor, boatyard owner, all-around helper, and the man who launched \u003cem\u003eDorothy Elizabeth\u003c\/em\u003e. And you will meet many other singular people up and down the coast from Portland, Maine, to Lunnenberg, Nova Scotia, and beyond, drawn together by the building of a boat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger F.
