About This Book Essex Shipbuilding is part of Arcadia's acclaimed Images of America series — a photographic history of three centuries of wooden shipbuilding in Essex, Massachusetts, the small North Shore village that became the most productive wooden-ship building town in American history. Over 4,000 ships slid down the Essex River ways bound for Gloucester, Boston, New York, and the Grand Banks. Drawing on the photograph collection of Dana A. Story — son of legendary shipbuilder A.D. Story — the book documents the great yards of A.D. Story and Tarr & James. Essex ships are shown at sea: fishing the Grand Banks, racing under full sail, rum-running during Prohibition, Arctic exploration, and naval service in both World Wars. Did You Know?
