This book is a four hundred year timeline of events of Marblehead, Massachusetts. There are stories based on the experiences and observations of one family continuously living in Town. William Dixey was a servant of Isaac Johnson and arrived in Naumkeag in 1629. The Dixey family settled in Marblehead and has lived in this coastal town for almost four hundred years. The author is also a descendant of Isaac Allerton, a Mayflower passenger that used Marblehead as a base for his fishing fleet. Along with the timeline and stories, are four hundred and twenty photographs and maps from the author's private collection. Thirty pages of genealogy in the back of the book show connections to most of Marblehead's old families. Hundreds of names are listed, with some families going back to the late 1500s. Old books, documents, town records, probate records, wills, old newspapers, interviews with Marbleheaders, family letters and other family documents were used in writing the book.

Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and picturesque harbors both large and small, Marblehead has relied on the changing tides for its livelihood since the town's founding in 1629. It served first as the departure point for schooners that sailed on local and far-flung fishing voyages, then as a flourishing seaport in the 18th century. Since the Civil War it has been a safe haven for yachting enthusiasts and tourists who are lured by its many charms. The harbor had been a working port for over two centuries when a sudden storm off Newfoundland's Grand Banks in 1846 destroyed half of the town's fishing fleet. Many of Marblehead's inhabitants became involved in the burgeoning shoe industry to carry them over while the fisheries struggled to recover, but never did. By the turn of the 20th century, the town had become an important yachting center. In this much anticipated sequel, these and other waterfront-related aspects of Marblehead's history are chronicled in six intriguing chapters with over 200 photographs and postcards.

The true beauty and fury of the Atlantic Ocean are known only by the rugged individuals who have made their living from the sea. In the seventy-five years from the American Revolution to the middle of the nineteenth century, Marblehead, Massachusetts, experienced a golden age of fishing. For the next fifty years, the industry struggled, but from 1900 until the end of the twentieth century, one small anchorage made itself proud. From boat building to sail design, First Harbor produced creative men whose innovations helped shape marine history. Join Hugh Peabody Bishop and Brenda Bishop Booma as they reveal this story through the eyes of a Marblehead fisherman, drawn uncontrollably by his love for the sea.

Marblehead, Massachusetts, is a proud community steeped in history, and many fine images of its past still survive today. Paintings from the colonial period and engravings from the mid-nineteenth century complement the town's photographic record, which begins around 1865. In Marblehead Volume I, historian John Hardy Wright has brought together many of these images for the first time in a published work. This illuminating pictorial history focuses on the history of Marblehead from 1629 to 1940, and describes many of the community's fascinating architectural, topographical, and human elements. Even today this early New England fishing town presents visitors with evidence of its heritage, in everything from historic homes to a general sense of Yankee pride.
