Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. "The story of one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, yet one surrounded by an aura of romance which never fails to excite the imaginations and spirit of adventure within everyone. This book covers the whole history of the pearling industry in and around Australia from the nineteenth century beginnings in Torres Strait to the boom days at Broome, known in those fairytale years as the Queen City of the North. Particular attention has been paid to the involvement of Japanese workers and investors in the industry and attempts by the Japanese government of the day to negotiate fair treatment for their nations. .Wealthy pearlers and their socialite wives importing gowns from London and Paris, Oriental nightclubs and sweetly twittering Asiatic beauties, behind-the-scenes financial manouvres, turbanned Sikhs, visits from European buyers and the harbour skyline permanently pierced by the masts of a myriad of luggers and junks - Broom was indeed a world apart from the rest of Australia. Two global wars destroyed that world, and the industry, but the whole colourful period is recreated for us in this detailed and thoroughly researched book." --- Original grey papered boards, lettered gilt on spine (16 x 24 cm). Illustrated dustwrapper, now protected. Pp. 380 including Abbreviations, Explanatory Note, Introduction and Acknowledgements, Foreword, Epilogue, Bibliography: A: Manuscript Sources, B: Printed Material, Index.
