Nancy Taylor Robson

Nancy Taylor Robson is one of the first women in the country to earn a US Coast Guard license. She grew up sailing and building boats with her father and worked as a housepainter, desk clerk and yacht maintenance person while in college. After earning a degree in history, she had planned to go to law school, but instead, met and married a sailor/tugboat captain, a graduate of the US Merchant Marine Academy, and shortly after their marriage, she went to work alongside her husband as cook/deckhand on an old 85-foot tugboat built during WWII. The fear of being maimed or lost overboard, the male opposition, and the drudgery during seagoing tours that ranged from Maine to Florida, Bermuda, New Orleans and Mexico was coupled with romantic sunsets, a ringside seat on nature and an appreciation for hard won accomplishment. Robson, one of a handful of women who paved the way for every intrepid woman who has followed, brings that world alive. She met only one other woman during the six years she worked out there, running up and down the Atlantic and in the Gulf of Mexico, hailing barges loaded with everything from sulfuric acid to truck parts and RR train cars bound for Iran, to nuclear turbines. This, her first published book, written after coming ashore when her first child was born, was originally published to great reviews and has been reissued in paperback. She and sailed and raced for many years on the Chesapeake Bay on various sailboats as well as delivering sailboats up and down the Atlantic Coast and Inter-Coastal Waterway.
