Being an account of an ocean wanderer and particularly of a voyage around the Horn in 1907-1908 from the Narrative of Captain. With a Foreword by Alan Villiers. South Street Seaport. New York. 1969. De 26x18,5 cm. Com [ii], viii, [ii], 134 págs. Encadernação em percalina com elaboradas gravações a ouro na lombada, e nas pastas formando esquadrias com filetes simples e motivos vegetalistas. Corte das folhas dourado. Ilustrado no texto com gravuras monocromáticas, e em extratexto em face da folha de rosto com pintura a óleo de Oswald L. Brett e fotografias a preto e branco, impressas sobre papel couché. Exemplar de uma tiragem de 500 não numerada com assinatura do autor, com ligeiros danos à cabeça e pé da lombada. Wavertree foi construído em Southampton, Inglaterra, em 1885. Era conhecido na época por Southgate, foi construído pela Oswald, Mordaunt and Company no estaleiro de Woolston, Southampton. Dois anos após o seu lançamento, mudou de propriedade para RW Leyland & Company de Liverpool e foi renomeado Wavertree. Muitas histórias da vida a bordo do Wavertree vêm da narrativa do Capitão George Spiers (1889?1971), que navegou com o navio quando adolescente, no início da sua carreira de 48 anos. Publicou o seu relato em Wavertree, An Ocean Wanderer em 1969, que combina artisticamente eventos que ocorreram durante as suas viagens no Wavertree com o que podem ser contos fantásticos de marinheiros.
