Tall Ship Odysseys: Fifty Years of Operation Sail

Tall Ship Odysseys documents the history of Operation Sail, from its humble origins as an elegy to a vanishing breed of giants to an international nautical spectacular that draws scores of international participants and millions of spectators. This richly illustrated book charts an unwavering course from inspired daydream to eagerly awaited event, chronicling Operation Sail's milestones and offering vivid glimpses of the vessels, their crews, and the challenges and rewards of life at sea-all captured through hundreds of rare archival and full-color photographs, as well as through firsthand reminiscences of participants and spectators alike.
