The country's maritime infrastructure is well documented - from the small, romantic and almost forgotten ports, to the magnificent harbours of today.

Hardcover. Condition: VG. Dust Jacket Condition: VG. Photos. Art, Map, Documents Etc (illustrator). 1st. For more than a century from 1857 ships of the Union and Castle lines provided the vital communications link beween Great Brirain and South Africa. Contracts with the governments of both countries for the important carriage of mails created competition between the two and this was an major factor in the formation of Union-Castle Line as one company, from the competitors, in 1900. Union-Castle became iconic in the carriage of mail, passsengers and cargo and famous for building many beautifully proportioned ships, including a number in the liner age dominated by multi-funnel ships, The line also operated cargo vessels alongside its liner services. Like so many famous shippling lines, Union-Castle fell victim to tthe rise of jet travel for passengers and containers for cargo and in 1977 it ceased trading. While most of its ships sailed via the west coast of Africa and serviced major South African ports, others transited the Mediterranean, Red Sea and the East Coat of the African continant. This fine book covers the introduction of the two lines to service, their fierce competition for mail contracts, the eventual merger, the two World Wars and dealing with the changing shipping technologies and other challenges of the years leading to the line's closure. A thorough and in-depth study of one othe great shipping lines.
