Paperback. Zustand: Good. The islands of Martha s Vineyard and Nantucket, off the Cape Cod coast of Massachusetts, were first inhabited by members of the Wampanoag tribe. English settlements were established in the mid-1600s. As the populations and commerce grew, so did the need for reliable transportation. The islands were first served by privately owned sailing vessels, but things began to change with the introduction of marine steam power. In 1818, the little steamer Eagle was the first to cross Nantucket Sound. Although she only remained in these waters for three months, she began what was to become a tradition of steamboat travel to the islands that lasted for 170 years. The images in this volume include well-known steamers with familiar names like Nobska, Naushon, Gay Head, and Uncatena, as well as many others.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR on the front free endpaper as follows: "To my good friend | Harold Haines | a very clever man | with my compliments | E.W. Alison Jr. | Xmas 1937." 8vo. [4]5-249p. Tan cloth blocked and lettered in black on the front cover and spine. Wear to extremities with the corners just rubbed through, several rubbed through patches on the leading edges of the covers, spine slightly darkened, some odor of smoke, else very good and better. No dust jacket. Born in Auckland in 1852, Ewen William Alison spent time as a gold prospector, in a butchery shop with his brother in Devonport, and in real estate. He served Devonport borough as mayor from 1890 to 1895 and from 1902 to 1907 and served another term on the Waitemata County Council from 1900. He was the founder, guiding spirit and driving force behind the Devonport Steam Ferry Company Limited. With his brother, Alexander, he was instrumental in floating the company in August 1881 and they soon had a regular, inexpensive service operating in place of the somewhat mixed and unreliable concerns of the 1870s. Alison was also involved in other business ventures, including shipping, coal mining and gold mining. He remained a resident of Takapuna until his death at 31 Kitchener Road on 6 June 1945 at the age of 93. Alison was recognised as a doyen of the Auckland business world. He left a legacy to his native city of a ferry and bus service serving a string of shore suburbs, whose development he had done so much to foster. It was fitting that in 1951 the Devonport Steam Ferry Company renamed its largest vehicular ferries after the Alison brothers, who had run its affairs for over 50 years with conspicuous success. [The Encyclopedia of New Zealand] This book is an account of Alison's travels to Hawaii, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, St. Louis, New York, London, Belgium, and Paris. Born on 22 November 1899 at Salcombe Regis in Devon, Harold Haines was educated at Peterhouse College, Cambridge before joining the RNAS in 1917. Signed by Author(s).…
