Overview: THE AZORES ARE an island nation where historically whaling was an essential way of life. To hunt the whale, young men and old would risk their lives in open boats from shore, and this activity represents the heart of Azorean history and tradition. But modern times have brought an end to whaling and no such boats have been constructed for many years. In 1998, two young Americans, apprentice boatbuilders, journeyed to the Azores where, in cooperation with a seventy-year-old craftsman, they built a new boat to traditional standards. Remarkably, the tradition was continued.Once harpooned, the whale was linked to the whaleboat by a line wrapped twice around the loggerhead, that piece of the boat's construction that represents the physical and cultural connection between prey and hunter, between success and failure, and, in many instances, between life and death. The construction of a new boat by an Azorean master builder and American apprentices represents another link, between generations and cultures, a connection through skill that is as strong as the loggerhead itself.This volume contains essays by Lance R. Lee on the rich history of whaling and its associated folkways in the Azores and by Bruce Halabisky, the senior apprentice, on the techniques of building the boat and his relationship with his Azorean mentor. It is abundantly illustrated with line drawings, historical photographs, and over 50 watercolors documenting both the process and the setting by Breton artist Yvon Le Corre.Twice Round the Loggerhead is far more than a book about a particular boat or people. It is an evocation of the power of nature and the formation of a national culture—its livelihood, its functional art, and its tradition.

A decent, if standard, experience. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. Quite impressive overall.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Perfectly average.
