Sentinels and Saviors of the Seas is a collection of sixty-five brief histories of the United States Coast Guard and its predecessor services and agencies.
Starting its life as an attack transport in World War II—and one of the last five left afloat by war’s end—the USS Queens saw action at Iwo Jima and other hot spots in the Pacific theater. After the war, the ship became the SS Excambion, one of the “Four Aces” of American Export Lines: the only fully air-conditioned ships in the world at the time. In 1965, the versatile Excambion underwent yet another transformation—into a floating classroom. Recommissioned as the USTS Texas Clipper, the ship began a third life as a merchant marine training vessel with its home port in Galveston. For the next three decades the Texas Clipper would be home to merchant marine cadets, and by the time it was retired in 1996, it was the oldest active ship in the U.S. merchant marine fleet. Finally, the Texas Clipper, after protracted bureaucratic wrangling, was designated to be sunk in the Gulf of Mexico as an artificial reef to provide habitat for marine life. In 2007, the ship was towed to its final resting place, seventeen nautical miles off the coast of South Padre Island. Now, 136 feet below the surface, the venerable Texas Clipper lives on as the home to a wide variety of underwater species. Filled not only with meticulously researched technical and historical data about the ship’s construction, service record, crew procedures, and voyages, The Ship That Would Not Die also features lively anecdotes from crew members, passengers, and officers. More than 140 color and black-and-white photos illustrate the ship’s construction, its wide variety of shipboard life, the exacting process of making the Texas Clipper ready to become an artificial reef, and its final sinking in the Gulf of Mexico.
Following in the succession of his 25 predecessors, Leon Abbett twice served as governor of New Jersey in the late 19nth century. A lifelong Democrat, he was a dynamic and visionary party leader who guided the citizens of New Jersey into a new urban industrial age. While he was a machine politician and party boss, he was also a notable reformer. That was a formidable combination for his time. Grappling with a series of hot political issues and braving the passions and divisions spawned by the Civil War, Abbett was one of the ablest and most intriguing men ever to be governor. Several new ideas were transformed into public policy during his tenure. Both in style and strategy, Abbett represented a sharp break from his predecessors. He was a prime example of a governor who both in crisis and in ordinary times broadened gubernatorial authority. He became both a policy and party leader. In this context, he was an important forerunner to a type of governor that had not yet appeared on the American political stage.
The classic Christmas tale with a New Jersey twist! A New Jersey Christmas Carol, Special Edtion of A New Jersey Chrismtas Tale, is another release by the master storyteller on an already long list of Christmas books and seasonal magic! During the Christmas season of 2020, Mr. Paul John Hausleben wrote and published his own version of A Christmas Carol by Mr. Charles Dickens. A New Jersey Christmas Tale became an instant holiday classic. Mr. Hausleben completed a dream; to be able to work alongside his writing hero, Mr. Charles Dickens. Almost from the moment of publication, the question came in from readers and followers. "Paulie, why did you title the book A New Jersey Christmas Tale? Why not A New Jersey Christmas Carol?" The reader's questions and feedback haunted Paul John Hausleben. During Christmas of 2023, Mr. Hausleben completed a university course with coursework of an in-depth study of Mr. Charles Dickens and his masterpiece novella. After another reader asked about the title, and armed with his new knowledge from his studies, the author came up with the idea for a special edition of his own Christmas classic. Mr. Hausleben dug up a commentary that he wrote many years ago on A Christmas Carol and brushed that commentary up. The author added some special notes, added some Christmas fun within the pages, with his not-so-world-famous lists, a touch some of his usual humor, and his own cover design and his own simple and captivating hand-drawn artwork. Of course, he added the title of A New Jersey Christmas Carol. Here it is; a special edition of the master storyteller's Christmas classic! Mr. Hausleben takes the original theme of the classic Christmas story, adds his own characters, sets the story in his home city of Paterson, New Jersey and turns the old classic into a new classic. All of this makes this special edition book a must-have for your Christmas reading list!
