Description

8vo., with frontispiece, plates and large folding plan; blue cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper The author's first book. Newby resigns his post in an advertising agency and signs as apprentice on the four-master MOSHULU. Much-needed reissue of a modern maritime classic, first published in 1956. This edition retains all the plates and folding sail plan of the original but omits the endpaper maps. Now elusive in its own right.
