Joseph Francis, Shipbuilder: Father Of The U.S. Life Saving Service is a non-fiction book written by John B. Ehrhardt. The book tells the story of Joseph Francis, a shipbuilder who played a key role in the creation of the United States Life Saving Service, a government agency responsible for rescuing sailors in distress along the coasts of the United States.The book explores Francis' life and career, from his early days as an apprentice in a shipyard in Maine to his work building ships for the U.S. Navy during the Civil War. It also delves into his efforts to improve the safety of ships and sailors, including the development of new life-saving equipment and techniques.Throughout the book, Ehrhardt provides a detailed look at the history of the U.S. Life Saving Service, including its origins, its growth and evolution over time, and its eventual merger with the U.S. Coast Guard. He also explores the challenges faced by the agency, including the dangers of shipwrecks and the difficulties of rescuing sailors in treacherous conditions.Overall, Joseph Francis, Shipbuilder: Father Of The U.S. Life Saving Service is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the U.S. Coast Guard and the important role played by shipbuilders and other innovators in improving maritime safety.This is a new release of the original 1950 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
