Sobre IBD

The Shelburne Shipyard has been an important part of Lake Champlain and American maritime history from shortly after the War of 1812, through the steamboat era, WWII, and the Korean War. The building of wooden subchasers during WWII is one of the great untold chapters of that legacy, now preserved in in this memoir and history of the Shelburne Shipyard. Author Jerry Aske came to Vermont as a child when his father assumed management of the Shelburne Shipyard in order to build ships for the Navy during WWII and in From Steamboats to Subchasers Aske has crafted an intimate account of Lake Champlain’s local maritime history and the pivotal role Shelburne Shipyard has had in forging it.
