"'Young Men and the Sea provides a wonderful glimpse, as grounded as it is imaginative, into the lives of families along New England's long coast. In recovering the working lives of these mariners, he recovers a world of early American labour and labourers whose unfamiliarity to us today has unduly circumscribed their place in historical interpretations.' Marla R. Miller, International Journal of Maritime History 'Young Men and the Sea is a phenomenal work of scholarship, exquisitely crafted, and delightful to read." Paul E. Fontenoy, Nautical Research Journal"
