WORKING BOATS

This 56-page, 9" x 12" book features profiles of ten types of working vessels, ranging from a historic firefighting boat to the cutting edge of Coast Guard cutters, with a healthy mix of fishing vessels. Each boat is shown in a colorful cutaway view and broken down in exploded views and explanations of its functions, systems, and safety equipment. Together they form a whimsical and informative portrait of the traditions and experiences of life at sea.

The book represents the culmination of ten years of the work of celebrated maritime artist Tom Crestodina, who is also a working commercial fisherman and maritime engineer.
