Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Photographs. 140 pages clean and tight. This is the story of tramp ships' seamen in the closing years of the coal burning era. It is not an adventure story with a plot; these were ordinary men, their lives rarely touched the dramatic highlights around which the plots of novels are woven. They led workaday lives far from home; in a ship's galley during a midwinter gale; stowing cable by hand; chipping, scraping and painting through the Tropics; shovelling coal closed in by the furnace glow; on solitary lookout in the graveyard watch. It follows them not only around the oceans and seaports of the world, but backwards in time to their origins and sometimes forward to their ends. They all at some time made the tramp ship their home. Introduction by Sir Frederic Bolton, one time Chairman of tramp ship operator The Bolton Steam Shipping Co. Ltd. and a past President of the General Council of British Shipping. Postscript by F. Michael Everard CBE BA, Chairman of shipowner F. T. Everard & Sons Ltd. and also a past President of what by then had become the Chamber of Shipping. Size: Sm 4to.…
