Celebrating the Emma C. Berry

April 11, 2022 By

$9.00

By Lawrence R. Jacobsen:  The Emma C. Berry, built in Noank, Connecticut in 1866, is the last known fishing smack and a National Historic Landmark.  These fast, utilitarian and graceful boats, built with wet wells to hold the catch, were once plentiful along the eastern seaboard, and Noank design was considered superior.  In a simple, easy to understand account that provides simple technical and historical detail, the author guides the reader through Emma’s adventures, misfortunes and rescues.
