ABOUT
More than 2300 ships have met their end off the New Zealand coast since 1795. Some took with them many lives; some should never have happened; some were the victims of appalling weather or a difficult coastline; a few were the result of enemy action.

Shipwrecks Around New Zealand details, in lively prose and elegantly accurate illustrations, 31 wrecks from HMS Orpheus in 1863 to the Celtic Kiwi in 1991.

This selection, chosen and described by marine historian Gavin McLean, is illustrated by Eric Heath, who has combined the skills of a draughtsman and artist to produce superbly detailed and beautifully crafted illustrations showing how these ships looked in their prime.

Illustrated throughout with colour illustrations, map.

Near new with only light shelf wear on dust jacket and ex-libris on end paper.
