Maine Author and Filmmaker Doug Mills Offers Three Books

Maine author and filmmaker Doug Mills to make a very special a special offer on three of his books just in time for the upcoming holiday season.

1871

1871 is a collection of spectacular photographs, by Maine artist and photographer Doug Mills, depicting sailing on the Maine coast in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, when sail was king.
Come and sail the Maine coast in the age of sail. You can almost feel the wind in your hair and the salt spray on your face. It is 1871, come and sail with us.

Race The Wind

Race the Wind is a collection of photographs and verse by Maine artist and photographer Doug Mills depicting the grace and beauty of Maine's historic fleet of tall ships and the waters they call home.

The Great American Windjammer

Penobscot Bay is located on the coast of Maine and on any given day in the summer you may be able to see as many as 15 or more of these proud sailing vessels, known as windjammers. Many of these boats have been sailing for over 100 years! They are truly living history. The golden age of sail is long gone, but, on the coast of Maine the golden age of the Maine windjammer is at its height. Imagine if you could know ahead of time the important moments of history and be there to photograph that moment. So many historic moments have gone by unrecognized by those present and only later realized the significance of that very moment.
"The Great American Windjammer" is a collection of photographs by Doug Mills which capture the golden age of the Maine windjammer for all time. The Great American Windjammer Vol. 1 is 200 pages with 100 8x10 photographs of these historic boats.
