Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Facsimile Reprint. 205 pages. Originally published by Imray, Laurie, Norie & Wilson, Ltd., London. Multi-panel fold-out map. 9 Black and white illustrations. "A century ago, when every known route was beset with its own dangers, the risks in the "Country Trade" were especially numerous, and it is difficult now to even believe, much more to realise, the vicissitudes to which a ship was liable in the 17th and 18th centuries from the time she left her anchorage under the friendly protection of the guns of old Bombay Castle. Pirates, cosmopolitan, Indian, Arab, even English, cruised the Arabian seas. The Straits of Malacca teemed with fierce cut-throats; the Gulf was a standing menace. These dangers were real." - From Preface. Contents clean, bright and unmarked, possibly unread. Tight and square. Light wear to white and blue cloth-covered boards. Bright silver lettering upon spine. Seller Inventory # 123a7791
