STORIES OF BOATS AND THE SEA

Captain Jim Sharp and his wife, Meg, have spent a lifetime on and near the water.  Whether sailing canals of Europe or restoring a unique collection of boats, their stories will entertain and inform.  If you've met Captain Jim, you know he's got a "boat load" of stories to tell, and luckily for us, he and Meg have put some of it down in writing. 

NOTE:  The books are awesome (we promise!), but if you'd like to hear a sea story or two as told by Capt Jim himself, click here for some stories of weather and ghosts!

Signed copies of all books are available at the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum!  Call 207-701-7627 to order your copy!
