Boston Publishing presents: Tall Ship Odysseys
Our Boston Publishing Company imprint produced Tall Ship Odysseys for Operation Sail, Inc., a non-profit sailing organization established in 1961 with the endorsement of President John F. Kennedy. This 288-page, illustrated, hardcover book documents the five-decade history of the organization, from its humble origins as an elegy to a vanishing breed of giants to an international nautical spectacular that draws scores of international participants and millions of spectators.
This richly illustrated book charts an unwavering course from inspired daydream to eagerly awaited event, chronicling Operation Sail’s milestones and offering vivid glimpses of the vessels, their crews, and the challenges and rewards of life at sea—all captured through hundreds of rare archival and full-color photographs, as well as through firsthand reminiscences of participants and spectators alike.
