A maritime historian from Whitefield has been awarded the 2005 United States Maritime Literature Award for “Sea Struck,” a book about the final decades of America’s square-rigged sailing vessels.

W.H.

The New Bedford Whaling Museum and the Martha’s Vineyard Historical Society collaborated in the project.
