The Arctic Schooner Bowdoin: One Hundred Years of Wind, Sea, and Ice - K. A. Beals

Author Kathryn A. Beals explores the first one hundred years of the Bowdoin's life at sea, covering its inception as a vessel that could withstand the rigors of Arctic exploration, fascinating stories of it many trips north, its commissioning by the U.S. Navy during World War II--and its subsequent decommissioning and sale as a hulk--its restoration to sailing status in 1968, and its final home at Maine Maritime.
