Marvil's book

I mentioned this book in an early blog post. The title and author are self-evident. I actually have two copies of this (shown), one with dust jacket and one without. The book was a limited edition of 1000 copies for the Pilots Association members, so to have two under one roof is pretty neat, I think. This book is a gold mine for researching the maritime history of the Delaware Bay, although it's a bit dated. It was published back in 1965, so a lot of the more recent changes to the watershed are not reflected.
