520    "The United States has long been dependent on the seas, 
       but Americans know little about their maritime history. 
       While Britain and other countries have established 
       national museums to nurture their seagoing traditions, 
       America has left that responsibility to private 
       institutions. In this first-of-its-kind history, James M. 
       Lindgren focuses on a half-dozen of these great museums, 
       ranging from Salem's East India Marine Society, founded in
       1799, to San Francisco's Maritime Museum and New York's 
       South Street Seaport Museum, which were established in 
       recent decades. Begun by activists with unique agendas--
       whether overseas empire, economic redevelopment, or 
       cultural preservation--these museums have displayed the 
       nation's complex interrelationship with the sea. Yet they 
       all faced chronic shortfalls, as policymakers, 
       corporations, and everyday citizens failed to appreciate 
       the oceans' formative environment. Preserving Maritime 
       America shows how these institutions shifted course to 
       remain solvent and relevant and demonstrates how their 
       stories tell of the nation's rise and decline as a 
       commercial maritime power"--|cProvided by publisher.
