“All Hands Gather to Hear the Mate Sing Chanteys
Maggie’s summer cruisers, who pay for their keep, may help with deck chores if they choose. In ports they step ashore for sight-seeing, clambakes, and square dances. Here at anchor in Buck Harbor they hear old songs from the days of sail.”

The Modern Life is a blog about American culture from roughly the 1930s through the 1960s. The point is to give a glimpse into the everyday life, doing my best to be historically accurate and avoiding fabricated and stereotyped current views of a past that never was.
