By Basil Lubbock

From Baird Maritime:

Another Lubbock classic of nineteenth century maritime history. This is one of fifteen Lubbock books being offered at a very generous price.

As with all the Lubbock books, it covers a lot of ground. The Blackwall Frigates were the connecting link between the East Indiamen of the eighteenth century and the P&O liners of the twentieth. They were high quality, well run ships.

From Baird Maritime:

Rosevear is an islet, one of the Western Rocks near Bishop Rock at the western end of England’s Isles of Scilly. The ‘Nancy Packet’ was an East Indiaman, an armed merchant vessel of the English East India Company.

By Richard Havers

From Baird Maritime:

A small book for small people, i.e. children, it is, nevertheless, a good one.

Comprising photographs – good ones – and brief pithy descriptions of about 120 well known or famous ships or classes of vessels.

From Baird Maritime:

An unusual if not unique book but one that readers of this review might well find interesting and useful, if only for their personal protection. This is a facsimile reprint of the original.

This reviewer is well aware that many of you work and travel in some of the world’s most “interesting” places. Some of the ideas and techniques described here, while old, may still prove useful.
