What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon
First edition.
Bound in the publisher's original cloth.
Written by Captain George P. Boughton, who began his maritime journey in 1881 when he was just twelve years old.
This exciting work features semi-autobiographical stories of life as a sailor on the high seas. Boughton presents the highs and lows of ocean-travel, including the difficult conditions and hard work alongside the joyous camaraderie between sailors.
Illustrated with seven brightly coloured plates and a coloured frontispiece, all painted by Kenneth Shoesmith. Collated, complete.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, excellent, with a little shelf wear and slight fading to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean, with a touch of age toning and the odd mark to the first and last pages.
Very Good Indeed
