" .. Sausalito’s rich maritime history is most definitely alive on its waterfront. In fact, a good part of this historical litany has recently been captured in a new book entitled the Sausalito Wooden Boat Tour, which was written, illustrated and photographed by Victoria Colella.  This new book, with its captivating stories and pictures, serves as a great guidebook, a unique gift and memorable keepsake...."
