The authors Thomas Minto and Eric Stevens. The main story is the search for the Kobenhaven, a magnificent five-masted Danish trading vessel which went missing on a voyage from the River Plate to Melbourne in 1928. The steam powered Junee was sent to find her, Minto was third mate. Alas the Kobenhaven was never found what we have here is a reminiscence of the attempts of the Junee in very difficulty conditions.

The rescue of the Milluna was successful and the last voyage of the Parma is nicely told by Eric Steven who crewed that voyage.

Superb photographic images throughout.
