About this Item

Tiny hint of foxing to the prelims only. Waters? Union Line is a concise, company?commissioned history of the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, covering its growth from a small Dunedin?based coastal operator in the 1870s into one of the most wide?ranging shipping enterprises in the southern hemisphere. The book traces the company?s founding under James Mills, its rapid expansion into trans?Tasman and Pacific services, and its role in mail contracts, troop transport, and intercolonial trade. Waters sketches the development of the fleet ? from early steamers to the well?known liners of the interwar years ? and highlights the company?s engineering, management, and operational innovations.
