Tugging on a Heartstring

Life on a Family Tugboat on the Chesapeake Bay by E. V. Lambert 6 x 9, paperback, 157 pages, photos. $9.95  T15962

This is a true story of a young girl living and working on the Chesapeake Bay in the 1970s.  Emily Lambert was a licensed merchant mariner and with her father as Captain and mother as first mate – the first woman licensed as a tugboat operator in the United States – Emily and her older sisters worked on their non-union family tugboat.  Strength and courage held the Lambert family together with the only girls crewing on a commercial ship on the Chesapeake.  From dangerous action to delightful comedy, this is an unforgettable voyage for all ages.
