Summary "Snug Harbor; or, The Champlain Mechanics" by Oliver Optic is a children's adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set around Lake Champlain and revolves around Dory Dornwood, a young hero who is presented with a series of adventures and challenges as he prepares to join the Beech-Hill Industrial School. The narrative combines elements of sailing, teamwork among boys, and the spirit of learning practical skills in mechanics. The opening of the novel introduces a thrilling incident on the lake where Dory saves a young man named Bolingbroke Millweed from drowning after his sloop is sunk by a steamer. This encounter leads to a deeper story involving a conspiracy, accusations of theft, and Dory’s determination to help his new acquaintance navigate the turbulent waters of both the lake and the challenges he faces after being mistakenly accused of a crime. Dory’s character is marked by his skill in sailing and a knack for adventure, setting the stage for an engaging story about friendship, courage, and the pursuit of practical education.
