    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon

    First edition.

    Uncommon work.

    Bound in the publisher's original blue cloth.

    This informative work provides insight into the importance of merchant ships during the First World War, exploring the role of hospital ships, the submarine war and shipping companies such as P & O and B. I.

    Written by F. A. Hook, with a foreword by Lord Inchcape.

    Illustrated with thirty-two full page illustrations from photographs. Collated, complete.

    Condition

    Bound in the publisher's original cloth. Externally, very good, with light bumping to the extremities and the odd mark. A little fading to the spine. Bookseller label to the rear paste down. Hinges are slightly strained, but holding firm. Internally, firmly bound. Light scattered spotting to pages and fore edge.

    Very Good
