Description: With "Nineteenth-Century Shipbuilding on Long Island" as its subtitle, this illustrated history of shipbuilding villages peripheral to the giant shipyards on the Brooklyn and Manhattan waterfronts is also a history of last-century entrepreneurs in an industry that peaked in mid-century and then declined to disappearance by the 1920s.
