Sobre este artículo
Barnsley, England: Seaforth Publishing, 2011. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine / Near Fine. Small Quarto, 7.5 x 10 in., pp. viii + 536. Richly illustrated with color and black and white drawings, photographs, and maps. Signed by author to label card on title page. Sky-blue boards with silver title to spine. Protected in mylar. "Antarctica is surrounded by some of the world's most hazardous seas and was first sighted less than three centuries ago. Since then, hundreds of ships have voyaged in Antarctic waters, challenged by poorly charted waters, storms, pack ice, icebergs, and disease. This is the story of these ships - some specially designed, some plucked from obscurity - and the critical role they played in opening up the continent. With technical information, plans, photos, paintings and maps Rorke Bryan begins the detailed information about the ships - from the earliest sightings of the 15th century up to the tourist ships and sophisticated reinforced research vessels of today into a single comprehensive volume." (from the dustjacket).
