Summary
This biography sketches the life of Frank Hewitt Peterson, a Maine shipmaster born in Machiasport in 1876. It traces his early decision to go to sea, beginning as a young sailor on a schooner in 1892, and follows a career that moved from coasting vessels to large multi-masted schooners, then into steam and other types of ships. The book is also framed as a personal account by Charles S. Morgan, who knew Peterson closely and drew on memories, journals, and a scrapbook.
