Description: Step aboard the Taikoo, a working ketch whose story spans generations of wind, water, and weathered timber. From the origins of her evocative name to the craftsmanship of her hull and the cut of her sails, this richly detailed account traces the vessel's voyages, her owners, and the daily rhythms of life on deck. Equal parts maritime history and loving tribute, it follows the Taikoo through years of hard sailing, quiet decline, and painstaking restoration. A must-read for anyone drawn to traditional sail and the enduring romance of wooden ships.
