This mint unmarked copy is bound in cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted. A clipper was designed for a particular trade and to carry a specialised cargo, oftenaccompanied by passengers, but always with the aim of achieving maximum speed. The cargo was frequently perishable of valuable and the ships that carried could command high rates of freight. Lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs taken from private collections, many published here for the first time. There are also many scale drawings. Essential reading for maritime historians, ship modellers and transport enthusiasts alike. Ref SS3.
