The work is well referenced, using standard in text referencing format, and then citing the references used at the end of each chapter, to me a useful and more immediate touch for the researcher. Finally, though I did not like them at all, the cartoon-like images at Figures 4.6 and 4.8 purporting to present the contemporary scene as Phoenix is consumed by fire, and 4.9, the 'Witch of [Lake] Champlain' actually succeed if one keeps the other half of Schwarz's audience (the general reader, seeking a good, easily-read and lively maritime story) in mind. For them Schwarz's Phoenix can be a great introduction to the region's maritime history and to maritime archaeology and its many facets, again widening its appeal. Schools in the region might also find it a useful work for the same reason. - Mcarthy, Journal of Maritime Archeology
