This is a well crafted, carefully shot and tightly edited documentary with an interesting and controversial storyline.

Detrick Lawrence Corporation, ZEB: Schooner Life, feature documentary, tells the story of a legendary mariner who kept sailing his working schooner along Martha’s Vineyard well into the age of oil and gas.

A fascinating tale for those drawn to the sea. www.zebtilton.com
