From Baird Maritime:
An amazing work. Essentially a detailed listing of all the ships that served this vast sector of the Pacific and Indian Oceans for 177 years.
The author has aimed at accuracy and comprehensiveness. He has researched brief details on thousands of ships. In most cases he gives its builder, owners, dimensions, dates in and out of service and final fate.
Not only amazing but an extremely valuable contribution to Australasian maritime history. It will prove indispensable to maritime historians and ship lovers. The Nautical Association of Australia is to be congratulated for devoting the enormous amount of effort that publishing this book obviously required, particularly following the untimely death of the author/compiler.
Absolutely invaluable.
