Last minute gifts: “Shipbuilders, Sea Captains, and Fishermen”
Most of my information on the Wawona debacle comes from Joe Follansbee of the Maritime Heritage Network. (He’s also where I get all of my information about MOHAI’s proposed move to my ‘hood, a move I fully support because the underused Naval Reserve Armory building makes me sad.) And now he’s published a book on the boat, called, “Shipbuilders, Sea Captains, and Fishermen: The Story of the Schooner Wawona“.
There’s just enough time left to order one for the history buff in your life. Joe has been a great force in helping preserve the artifacts and stories of an industry that helped build this town, and his book is sure to be compelling.
