First sentence: In the course of the following story of the building of a wooden steam drifter I have tried to be as factual as possible when speaking of the methods of putting these vessels together.
Description: [From dustjacket]: "For hundreds of years wooden ships have been built on the East Coast, using methods which have stood the test of time. In From Tree to Sea Ted Frost, who was apprenticed as a shipwright in 1916, tells in detail with the aid of his own incomparable drawings how a wooden fishing boat was built in one particular shipyard at the time he began to learn his trade".
