Molly Kool: First Female Captain of the Atlantic

The sea was long the dominion of men, but thanks to the inspiring example of Molly Kool, and her determination to find her way in a profession she loved, she opened the doors for all women who came after. Born in 1916, Molly became the first female attendee of the Marine School in Saint John, New Brunswick, and later graduated as the first woman to be a licensed ship captain in North America. This latest book in the Stories of Our Past series takes us through Molly’s life plying the waters off New Brunswick and Nova Scotia during the Great Depression and World War Two.
