The maritime history of Martha’s Vineyard is vast and fascinating. Among the storied shipwrecks, the tale of the 1918 freighter Port Hunter, a shipwreck that caused a congressional inquiry when over $1,000,000 of her military cargo went missing, salvaged by Vineyard residents. The loss of the 6-masters Ruth E. Merrill and Mertie B. Crowley, two of the greatest sailing ships ever built, A dozen ships that met their demise on a dangerous rock reef off Cuttyhunk. The shipwrecks of Pasque and Nashon Islands. A Rumrunner who sank with her load of illegal booze aboard. The Trojan, a freighter that went to the bottom with a cargo of glass bottles.

Saw Don speak at the Boston Sea Rovers Show (great speaker BTW) and bought his book. I’m only part way through it, but it’s really great. Lots of photos, history and great stories.
