Legacy of a Weymouth Woman

A Pioneering Spirit and a Love of Tall Ships

About this book

Legacy of a Weymouth Woman is the story of Lillian May Henshaw, a resourceful and talented woman, an advocate for education and an early feminist who, perhaps, was just a little bit ahead of her time.

Growing up in the shipbuilding community of Weymouth, she had a penchant for stories about the exploits and adventures of the local ships and the men who sailed them. She often wrote about them as a young freelance correspondent for the Halifax Chronicle Herald near the end of the golden era of sail.
