Describes how Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco's top tourist destination, was once the main port of entry to San Francisco and an extremely industrious place filled with immigrants, railroads, fishermen, and booming industry. Reissue.
One of America's oldest existing structures, Long Wharf encapsulates the most important events in Boston's history. Created in 1711 and spanning almost a half mile in length, it initially served as a defense for the town of Boston and a place for local merchants to sell and ship their cargo. Multitudes of different merchants had stores there over the decades, and these products changed as the city evolved. From rum, spices, flour, molasses and tea to fishing, immigration and tourism, the Wharf has always reflected the city it served. Long Wharf also had a darker side, with theft, drownings and slavery. Author and historian Kelly Kilcrease reveals how the Wharf was built, how it played a prominent role during the American Revolution and how it evolved into the landmark we know today.
Hope wharf is an idyllic town surrounded by crystal blue waters and home to approximately two hundred residents, including best friends Ryan and Zac. There's only one road in and one road out, and the locals like it that way, happy to cater to the tourists during the holiday season and keen to get their idyllic town back in the off-season. It sounds perfect, but there's a catch. The last time a local allegedly tried to leave town, they were found on the side of the road with mist coming out of every orifice. Tourists can come and go as they please, but it's forbidden for locals to leave, and from an early age, children are told about what happens if they try, poor old Tommy Nicholls used as an example. Ryan and Zac are keen to uncover the town's secrets and arrange a midnight stroll down Mulville Road to test the rumours out for themselves.
Brooks, whose heroines dazzled readers in Crown Sable and Seventrees, returns with a powerful, passionate novel set against the colorful backdrop of the Victorian spice trade--the story of a beautiful and strong-willed woman succeeding against all odds in a world run by men.
