MAILSHIPS OF THE UNION-CASTLE LINE BY C J HARRIS & BRIAN D INGPEN. FIRST EDITION 1994, HARDCOVER, FULLY INTACT DUST JACKET WITH PROTECTIVE PLASTIC COVER, 180 PAGES, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, IN GOOD CONDITION.
"Spanning the period 1857-1977, Mailships of the Union-Castle Line tells the absorbing tale of the 120-year ocean mail service between Britain and southern Africa, and of the vital role played by the Union-Castle Line and its forebears in revolutionizing maritime transport on this route. Much more than a history, though, it is a nostalgic look at an era of magnificent ships and leisurely travel. It abounds in fascinating accounts of life on board and is richly illustrated with evocative memor-abilia, over 300 photographs and eight specially commissioned maritime paintings." - Blurb
