Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. 1st. Shipping provided the only link in the colonial days between Australia and New Zealand and up until the 1900s sail remained largely dominant. Prominant in the trans-Tasman trade was the Auckland-based company, the Craig Line. This boook, one ofa number of nautical titles to appear under his authorship, is based on the activities of this company and its well-maintained, attractive barques and barquentines which were familiar in Australian and NZ ports and on the often stormy waters of the Tasman. The author was a seafarer and master mariner who, at the time the book was printed, was the first curator of the Wellington Harbour Board Maritime Museum. His research for this book, however, began during his seagoing days when time ashore was often spent interviewing old salts from the days of sail, or in libraries studying shipping records. This excellent book was the result and as well as carrying detailed records of the Craig Line and its ships, includes a graphic description of life at sea in those times with many.anecotes or incidents. To enhance the first-class text the author collected a magnificent selection of photographs showing the beautiful sailing ships of the time at their best and at work in seas calm and stormy. A treasure of recollections in word and picture of the latter days of commercial sail and a notable addition to NZ maritime history.
