Description

Intended as a text for college and advanced high school students, ""Voyages"" covers the entirety of the American maritime experience, from the discovery of the continent to the present.

Published in cooperation with the National Maritime Historical Society, the selections chosen for this anthology of primary texts and images place equal emphasis on the ages of sail and steam, on the Atlantic and Pacific, on the Gulf Coasts and the Great Lakes, and on the high seas and inland rivers.The texts have been chosen to provide students with interesting, usable, and historically significant documents that will prompt class discussion and critical thinking.

In each case, the material is linked to the larger context of American history, including issues of gender, race, power, labor, and the environment.
