This book devoted to the stories of heroines of the sea, by the master of New England maritime lore, Edward Rowe Snow, was originally published in 1962. Included in this collection are Hannah Burgess, who navigated her husband's clipper ship safely to port after his death; His Kai Ching, a widow who took command of her husband's pirate fleet; Mrs. Jones, a Methodist missionary who was the sole survivor of the Maria, wrecked off the coast of Antigua in 1826; Madame Desnoyer, who was cast adrift with her two children and a servant off Santo Domingo in 1767, after her husband had been murdered; and Alice Rowe Snow, the author's own mother, who spent most of her first twenty years at sea aboard ships commanded by her father.

Edward Rowe Snow (1902-1982) is remembered as one of the most vivid chroniclers of New England maritime history. Beginning with the publication of The Islands of Boston Harbor in 1935, he made his name as a historian of the New England coast-and also as a popular storyteller, lecturer, preservationist, and treasure hunter. For forty years, Snow flew to the lighthouses of New England as the "Flying Santa," dropping Christmas parcels for the keepers and their families. A granite memorial to Edward Rowe Snow, "Mr. New England," on Georges Island in Boston Harbor was dedicated in 2002 by his many friends. Jeremy D'Entremont is a lighthouse historian, writer and photographer, and webmaster of "New England Lighthouses: A Virtual Guide" at www.lighthouse.cc. Commonwealth Editions reissued A Pilgrim Returns to Cape Cod, one of Snow's most enduring classics, in recognition of the centennial of Snow's birth in August 1902. First published in 1946, Pilgrim is notable for what updater Jeremy D'Entremont calls "the sheer volume of colorful, dramatic, harrowing, and humorous history and legends." It is one of the most entertaining and satisfying works produced by the prolific "Mr. New England."
