The Search for the “Kobenhaven” and other true sea stories of the Depression Years – Minto and Stevens

Published by Graeme Andrews Productions, Epping in 1984. Number 530 of a 1,000 print run. Soft cover, octavo 52 pages, well illustrated. Cover showing some wear from use but really a very good copy. From the maritime library of Michael Connell and carries his bookplate.

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.

Nice maritime trilogy by Minto and Stevens

Tasmanian Photographer ( Beattie) – Margaret Tassell and David Wood – 1981

Published by Macmillan in Australia. Quarto, 155 pages heavily illustrated, as you would expect. Good dust jacket and generally a very good copy.

The first name that springs to mind when it turns to photography in Tasmania.

A well put together collection by Tassell and Wood published in 1981. Many examples of his better work categorised into – Historic; Industrial and Scenic, and Norfolk Island for a broader interest in that association. Some of the “originals” clearly showing their age but the subject matter and technique still very worthy.
