As the historian John Gardner confirms, until relatively recently boatbuilding was not recorded - the life of the yard crew even less so. Here is a rare and vibrant narrative from a winter apprentice. ***** \"It's great, it really is great. I can see it, and see it all - smell it, taste it, and feel it ... The shop and crew and Paul came through life size. I was there with you, every blessed, excruciating, wonderful minute ... Last night after supper, I sat down with it and didn't get up until I had finished, about 2 a.m.\" -John Gardner, historian, designer and builder of wooden boats, author of books including Building Classic Small Craft\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51319968071903,"sku":"9781882190454","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/O_pfL-FKD19781882190454.webp?v=1788374587","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/a-winter-apprentice-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
