For the first 8 years of her life, Burgess Cogill lived her life in the open the open sea. Her father commanded various sailing ships that was based out of San Francisco.
She was born on the Snow & Burgess schooner on September 5, 1902. The shipping industry (and San Francisco) was quite different then as anyone reading her book, When God was an Atheist Sailer ( 910.45 COG), will quickly notice.
The book is very slim and full of old black and white photographs, making this the perfect read during a lazy afternoon.
