FAREWELL TO THE TRAMPS

120pp., illus., frontis., hardback, d.w. a little worn with small tear on spine and front cover, Cape Town, [1982] 

"This is a book mainly about ships which will not be seen anymore - old tramps which wound up on the scrapheap, fast freighters which were victims of wartime casualty, and others which were lost through shipwreck. Many were declared redundant. Since the demise of so many regular callers has created a great yearning among ship-lovers for a record of some of the great events of the past, this volume about cargo carrying vessels is of particular interest."
