Hardback. Condition: Very Good. His torpedo boat was roughly the size of a large civilian cruising launch. She carried torpedoes named Sugar (starboard) and Pudding (port side). In this plywood hull with ammunition and fuel, the crews knew they were manning a floating bomb. This very readable story is balanced with wicked humour… history and heroism. It opens a window on the sea war in the Mediterranean and brings to life the extraordinary war story of a well-known Cantabrian. DJ; heavy. 160 pages.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Tiny amount of light shelf wear only. Colin Amodeo's Summer Ships is a substantial illustrated history of the immigrant vessels that brought thousands of settlers to New Zealand during the nineteenth century. Drawing on shipping records, diaries, letters, and contemporary accounts,…Amodeo reconstructs the voyages of the "summer ships" — the vessels that crossed the world's oceans during the calmer months, carrying families, labourers, and hopeful newcomers to a distant colony. The book traces the ships' construction, ownership, and routes, and brings to life the daily realities of life at sea: cramped quarters, storms, illness, and the small triumphs and tragedies that shaped each voyage. With its detailed research and generous use of photographs, maps, and plans.

Softback in excellent near new condition with no inscriptions. Slight shelf-wear to covers. 168 pages, illustrated. "The port of Kaiapoi has a history…that begins before the arrival of European settlers in the early 1850s. Maori trading parties used the Cam, Waimakariri and Styx Rivers as an inland water route to settlements further north. In 1849, the first coastal trading vessels from Wellington and Nelson crossed the Waimakariri bar to bring supplies to Captain Thomas's surveyors conducting the 'Mandeville Survey' in the Kaiapoi area. By the 1860s, Kaiapoi was the main port for the farms and stations of North Canterbury and the fleet of small cutters, schooners and ketches maintained a lively trade with Lyttelton as well as Christchurch via the Heathcote River."--Book flap.
