"If You Take Care Of ‘Em, They Will Last!"

This is the story of the beautiful Monterey fishing boats and the detailed tale of one survivor. Thousands of these graceful, Italian designed fishing boats filled the Sacramento River, San Joaquin River and the San Francisco Bay. Soon after 1900, gasoline engines replaced sails for California’s Italian fishermen. For anyone interested in shipbuilding, California fisheries, or the life experiences of Italian immigrants in the Delta, this attractive, picture filled, hard cover book should be in their library.
