Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. A very close to new copy. New Zealanders vividly remember the Wahine wreck, in which 51 people died. An even more tragic shipwreck occurred 60 years earlier, not far from where the Wahine went down. In 1909 the Penguin sank near Wellington with the loss of 72 lives, among them many women and children. Until now the full story of this calamity has never been told - the drama and despair of that wild night in Cook Strait and the acts of fortitude and tenacity that ensued. One heroine was Ada Hannam, the only female survivor, who overcame dreadful odds but lost her entire family.The Penguin has never been found, and mystery surrounds the cause and exact location of the sinking. Was it Thoms Rock, or did the Penguin hit the hulk of the Rio Loge? Was Captain Naylor unfairly blamed for the wreck? Many of the answers are in this book; others lie deep in Cook Strait, waiting to be discovered.This is Bruce Collins' third maritime book. The first, in 1991, was the dramatic story of the wreck of the sailing ship Surat which has etched its way into Otago folklore. The second, in 1995, was Rocks, Reefs and Sandbars, a definitive history of Otago shipwrecks.…

Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. vii, [1], 36 p. Figure. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "North Korea s criminal conduct smuggling, trafficking and counterfeiting is well known, but the portion of the government, Office Number 39, which directs it, is understudied or overlooked. This shadowy part of an already opaque government is examined to reveal how it conducts its activities and supports the longevity of the regime.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Forgotten Ships: Unfinished Voyages to New Zealand, 1820-1925. by Bruce E. Collins. Publisher: Otago Maritime Society, 2018, First Edition. VERY SCARCE. Small softback in excellent near new condition. No inscriptions. 204 pages, illustrated. Over the period 1820 to 1925 hundreds of ships made successful voyages to New Zealand bringing thousands of immigrants, livestock and cargo to the 'new' land. Despite the hazards that existed at the time only a very small proportion of ships that sailed from foreign ports failed to arrive. The Wellington Evening Post in its edition of 16 October 1880 revealed a darker side to shipping, ship's missing on their voyage out to New Zealand. When bodies or wreckage had been located on a distant shore the story would gain momentum. If there were no reports of wreckage, survivors or sightings of a missing ship this often meant only a few lines in the daily newspaper. The phrase 'never seen or heard of again' would be the editor's epitaph. This publication records the details of 112 ships lost or wrecked on their voyage to New Zealand during the period 1820 to 1925. How many passengers died? How many mariners perished? Answers to these questions and more are revealed for the first time. Ships went missing or were wrecked in the English Channel, Tasman Sea and various locations across the globe. To aid genealogists, names of passengers and crew have been added. After all, shipping losses are more about people than ships.…
