This group met twice molnthly in Boston. The book consists mostly of its history since 1887, photos of members and various types of vessels, from pilot boats to yachts, to steamers, a directory of other, similar groups throughout the US, a list of officers, page-filling articles on such topics as signal flags and barometers, but mostly, wonderfully, i;lustrated period ads from local waterfront firms. Light waterstain along top edge, otherwise in excellent condition, bound in publisher’s blue cloth.
