Working Waterfront: Anyone with a love of old sailing vessels will enjoy this interesting and informative book, published by the Mystic Seaport. What makes Fly Rails and Flying Jibs unusual is that it combines a series of superb photographs with interpretive captions that read like a text.

The dedication page identifies Robert Goddard as a Financier, Philanthropist, Yachtsman, Photographer, Naturalist and Devoted Father and Friend. Goddard died in 2003 and this book, a collaborative effort by his sons and granddaughter, is a wonderful tribute to his memory.
