Small quarto, 111 pages with dust jacket. Some ageing to page edges and ownership signature on free end paper. Still a very good copy.

Another thoroughly well researched book by Jack Loney. Excellent narrative and illustrations about what happened to the Madagascar, the Loch Maree (what a beautiful ship), the Kobenhavn, the extraordinary mystery of the Mahogany Ship (can it be found?), the twin screw steamer Rosedale and the little Christina Fraser … Loney’s usual unusual presentation … which we like
