Description
Presented as an annual almanac from the fictional island community of Carroway Island, this richly illustrated volume blends weather forecasts, tide observations, navigation advice, maritime folklore, watermen's humor, seasonal wisdom, moon tables, local customs, and practical knowledge gathered from generations spent on the water.
Written in the style of traditional nineteenth-century almanacs, the book offers readers an immersive glimpse into a disappearing coastal culture where tides govern daily life, weather is studied with respect, and experience remains the most trusted guide.
Whether consulted for amusement, inspiration, maritime lore, or simply the pleasure of wandering through the traditions of a Chesapeake Bay island that never existed—but somehow feels real—this almanac serves as both reference and storytelling artifact from the world of Carroway Island.
Useful with a questionable degree of accuracy since 1894.
