In the latest edition of the Immersive Travel Guide series, Seddiqui explores how the waters of the Atlantic Ocean have indelibly marked New England. Focusing on the region's nautical past and present, Seddiqui presents an experience-based travel journey with stops in Wells and Portland in Maine; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Gloucester, Boston, Plymouth, Hyannis and Provincetown, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Wareham in Massachusetts; Newport, Rhode Island; and Mystic and Greenwich in Connecticut.

The itinerary includes

• fun activities, from fishing excursions to lessons in sailing and rowing;
• hands-on opportunities to learn skills such as ship repair and how to cook lobster and clam chowder; and
• up-close guidance from skilled makers of nautical-themed art and crafts such as Nantucket baskets, sea glass and scrimshaw art, and knotwork; plus
• interviews with locals and information on lodging and other attractions to check out along the way.

Get ready, get set, get nautical in New England!
