pp169. Light volume - shipping charge will be reduced at processing stage. 'Born in a dockside tavern in Wicklow town, Robert Halpin began his seafaring career at the age of eleven. Unafraid of danger, particularly when potential profit outweighed risks involved, he ran supplies to the Confederate ports in the American Civil War. His greatest days at sea were as Commander of the largest ship on earth, the SSS Great Eastern. He laid 26,000 miles of cable linking four continents with telegraphic communication, making himself a fortune in the process. This book is based mainly on Halpin's private papers.' Light crease to front cover - otherwise very good.
