Praise for A Man and His Ship: America's Greatest Naval Architect and His Quest to Build the S.S. United States…

"In his debut, Ujifusa harks back to a time when men were men, and transatlantic ships were serious business . . . Written with passion and thoroughness, this is a love letter to a bygone time and the ships that once ruled the seas." ---Publishers Weekly Starred Review
