Joseph T. Rothrock sailed the Bay in the summer of 1883. His great-grandson and his wife duplicated that voyage during the summer of 1983. Both odysseys cover most of the Bay and the James River as far as Richmond. To make the comparison more interesting, the accounts are parallel, with photographs and texts alternating on opposite pages."Chesapeake Odysseys is particularly good for the sailor. Its discussion of the merits and drawbacks of the various harbors are informative and entertaining, and its wholehearted appreciation of the Chesapeake Bay area can be enjoyed by many". -- Roxane Clement, Kent County NewsRothrock, Joseph T., III is the author of 'Chesapeake Odysseys An 1883 Cruise Revisited', published 1984 under ISBN 9780870333231 and ISBN 0870333232.
