Descripción Soft Covers. Condición: VG+. No Jacket. Photos Ilustrador. 1st. New Zealand's rugged coast and adjacent ocean waters have seen many shipwrecks, marine accidents and some war losses. In this book, one of the New Zealand Tragedies series published by Grantham House. well-known NZ marine historian Gavin McLean covers maritime aspect for the series. His selection is conveyed in four parts --- Hazards of the Coast; Early Wrecks, Unnatural Causes and Recent Events. Each each part has several sub-sections with Unnatural Causes headings being Villiany and Casualties of War while Early Wrecks has seven sub-sections. Every aspect of marine accidents and disaster are covered, beginning with the earliest recorded wreck, of a sealing vessel from Australia in 1795, up to the the most recent notable shipwrecks including the inter- island ferry Wahine in 1968, the Russian cruise liner Mikhail Lermontov in 1986 and the Green Peace ship Rainbow Warrior, sabotaged in Auckland harbour by French saboteurs in 1985. Some wrecks cost many lives, notably HMS Orpheus wrecked on the bar at the entrance to Manukau Harbour in 1863 with the loss of 189 of her complement, still the most deadly in terms of lost lives. In his wide cross-selection of incidents Gavin McLean covers almost every type of maritime misfortune possible including storms, fire at sea, collisions, war, groundings, the dangers of treacherous bar harbours, and the lucky ships that met mishaps but not disaster or were salvaged. A well-rounded account to the toll of ships and lives on the NZ coast from the days of sail to steam and to the ships of today, from coasters to liners and all in between. First edition from Grantham House of 1990, 217 pages including glossary, reading list and index b/w photos and some art throughout, few documents/maps etc. Colour pictorial card covers are VG+ with crease to lower front corner, internally excellent, no inscriptions.
