ABOUT
New Zealand's merchant seafarers working in the coastal and international trades during the first 100 years of the country's life.
During this time, seafarers were among the most important and distinctive groups of Nealand workers. Whether wrestling with canvas high above the deck in a howling gale, or heaving coal in the stifling bowels of a steamship, their strength and skill were indispensable back in the days of sail and steam.
Beginning around 1840, when Maori played a prominent part in the coastal trade, the book charts the rise of steamships and their eventual dominance over sail, and closes with the Second World War, by which time New Zealand's domestic shipping industry and the distinctiveness of its workforce were on the wane.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, maps, charts and graphs.
