Book Review: The China Trade Clipper Brig of Saint Michaels, Maryland, John Gilpin 1830 -1841




The China Trade Clipper Brig of Saint Michaels, Maryland, John Gilpin 1830 -1841
Have read other works by this author and really appreicate the research noted.
This book starts out with acknowledgements then onto the story of The John Gilpin.
Beautiful color photo with sails up. Without going into the story as it's a short but precise account there are other items included:
author bio and other works by the author, Cargo account-handwritten notes along with details, ship log and all the footnotes are resourced.
Enjoyed the history of this book as author puts it all into a readable entertaining story.
Received a review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
