The book by Tom Crestodina details everything from salmon seiners to fireboats and NOAA research vessels.
“Working Boats: An Inside Look at Ten Amazing Watercraft”The first boat I ever boarded was a Washington State ferry. I was born in a Seattle hospital, but my parents lived on an island in Puget Sound and had to bring me home by sea. For the next 18 years, I rode those boats, and while I’ve since spent most of my adult life in Interior Alaska, far from open water, my memories of those ferries, a routine part of my childhood, remain vivid.
Today’s kids, I suspect, are less fortunate in that regard. If it weren’t for terrorists, the lawyers would be keeping them out of them up top. Fortunately, they have Crestodina to provide them with nicely detailed drawings of the engine rooms in 10 different working boats, along with the rest of those crafts as well.
The similarly-sized Bristol Bay gillnetter is another salmon boat, one that operates in a competitive zone that Crestodina describes as “one of the best examples of successful renewable resource conservation in the world.
During emergencies, it’s the Coast Guard that comes to the rescue. Crestodina shows readers five different vessels that guardsmen use, from tiny motorized lifeboats to marine-class cutters to icebreakers. He explains how rescues are performed, and, for any motorheads who happen to pick up the book, the launching and reloading of jet boats from larger ships is detailed .
