Hardcover. Etat : NF. Etat de la jaquette : VG+. Photos (illustrateur). 1st. Captain A G Russell, a former director of the Port LIne, compiled this record of the company's history to mark its 70th Anniversary. The story of the company began in 1914 when the Commonwealth and Dominion line was formed and it was not until 1937 that the name was officially altered to Port Line, although it was decided in 1916 that all company ships would carry the prefix "Port" followed by a port name --- the first to be launched with the new name being the Port Darwin in 1918. Ships from the constituant companies of Commonwealth Line --- Tysler, Corry and Royden --- had existing names changed to the "Port" naming system, about 20 ships being involved, with the four operated by Milburn alread carrying the "Port" prefix. Naturally, the first part of the book follows the company fortunes through WWI, then developing trade routes, including to Australia and New Zealand, through the difficult inter-war years. As with most British shipping lines the Port Line suffered its full share of losses during the 1939-1945 conflict, with a number of its ships participating in the famous Malta convoys and another, the Port Wyndham, being one of the last ships torpedoed by a German submarine, when outward bound in the English Channel in April 1945. Badly damaged, she was towed to Southampton where she remained under repair for 15 months before being returned to service. After WWII important developments took place world-wide in the maritime industry and Port Line (now under Cunard group management) was eventually one of the many notable British shipping companies that disappeared from the world's oceans. Captain Russell's history is, however, a fitting tribute to a much loved shipping compay, its fine ships and its men. with the final section of the text , "A Historical Review," covering numerous unusual or interesting incitents or occasions from throughout its existance. First edition of 1985, 155 pages including two appendices (one an extensive alphabetical fleet list of ships owned or chartered from 1883 to 1979) and index, illustrated throughout with photographs, the majority b/w with some in colour. Blue hard covers with gilt spine titles are NF, ditto the text block, no inscriptions. The dramatic colour art wrap-round DJ depicts one of the Malta convoys under air attack (artist Oswald Longfield Brett). The jacket is VG+ with one tiny tear lower front edge, few chips with somer light surface wear. N° de réf. du vendeur 004893
