Edizione: a scholarly study of these great sailing ships by leading authority basil lubbock. lubbock, himself a sailor, was a prolific writer of naval and sailing histories, and a member of the society for nautical research. much of his research was in the form of correspondences and interviews with crews and captains, thus many of his sources are unique to studies.<br> of all the ships lubbock studied there were none he know better than clippers. he was such an enthusiast on the subject that his readers can not help but to share in his love for them. this work deals primarily with the british clippers serving australia and new zealand, including the emigrant carriers.
