{"product_id":"two-centuries-of-maine-shipbuilding-nathan-lipfert-9781608936816","title":"Two Centuries of Maine Shipbuilding","description":"From the moment colonists at Popham launched the first ship constructed in the New World in 1608, Maine has been a shipbuilding powerhouse. Celebrating the bicentennial of Maine, historian Nathan Lipfert, in cooperation with the Maine Maritime Museum explores the rich history of Maine shipbuilding. Though concentrating primarily on shipbuilding activity in the two centuries since statehood, the book begins with pre-1820 activity, including native canoe-making (the oldest known birchbark canoe is in a Maine museum) and colonial-period shipbuilding. Covering the entire coast, this rich visual history focuses on the industry and the vessels produced, highlighting Maine's national and international importance in shipbuilding over the past two centuries, and its continuing relevance to national security, the fisheries, yachting and harbor craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan Lipfert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608936813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608936816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Down East Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.66w x 1.18d","brand":"Nathan Lipfert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048872931583,"sku":"9781608936816","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9cbb1d29-3c08-4631-8eb5-b44052bf07ad.jpg?v=1684998316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/two-centuries-of-maine-shipbuilding-nathan-lipfert-9781608936816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
