B[ROOKS]. (1899-1983). Best known for his articles in <em>The New Yorker<\/em> and his children&#8217;s books, E. B. White reflected significantly upon his relationship with the sea in two important essays, &#8220;The Years of Wonder&#8221; and &#8220;The Sea and the Wind That Blows.&#8221; The first, written on 13 March 1961 and originally appearing in <em>The New Yorker<\/em>, recounts his time aboard the steamer <em>Buford<\/em> in 1923. White began the round-trip voyage from Seattle to Siberia as a passenger but became a crew member once on board, thus experiencing the sea in a new way. &#8220;The Sea and the Wind That Blows&#8221; was written in the winter of 1963 and originally published in <em>Ford Times<\/em>. It addresses his lifelong affection for the sea and his lasting relationship with it, even in old age. Both works were reprinted in<em> Essays of E. B. White<\/em> (1977).<\/p>\n<p>Raised on the Maine coast, White sailed for pleasure during his boyhood. Through adulthood he maintained his connection to the sea by building, operating, buying, and selling various watercraft. White&#8217;s family has maintained an interest in the sea and in traditional boats. Prior to his death in 1997, his son, Joel White, was a craftsman and master designer of wooden sailboats at the Brooklin Boat Yard, in Brooklin, Maine, which he owned and operated. Douglas Whynott&#8217;s<em> A Unit of Water, a Unit of Time: Joel White&#8217;s Last Boat<\/em> (1999) is a reverent portrait chronicling White&#8217;s effort, while battling cancer, to complete his final design, the W-76, a wooden racing boat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Essays of E.
