ABOUT
Over the period 1820 to 1925 hundreds of ships made successful voyages to New Zealand bringing thousands of immigrants, livestock and cargo to the 'new' land.
Despite somewhat basic navigational instruments and knowledge compared to today the experience of the officers, seamen and shipping companies resulted in only a very small proportion of ships never finishing their voyages. For the first time this book collates the details of many of these unsuccessful voyages in terms of how the ships came to grief and fate of the passengers and crew.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
