Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'White Wings: Fifty Years of Sail in the New Zealand Trade, 1850-1900' is a definitive historical account of the clipper ships and sailing vessels that forged the maritime links between New Zealand and the rest of the world. Sir Henry Brett provides an exhaustive chronicle of the era when the 'white… wings' of the merchant fleet dominated the southern oceans, documenting the development of trade and the heroic voyages that defined a young nation's growth.This first volume focuses on the individual histories of the ships themselves, detailing their construction, their captains, and the record-breaking passages they made across the globe. From the arrival of early immigrant ships to the bustling trade routes of the late nineteenth century, the work captures the romance and the peril of life at sea. Brett's narrative is built upon meticulous research and first-hand accounts, offering readers an unparalleled look at the maritime heritage of the South Pacific.Rich in detail and spanning five decades of naval evolution, 'White Wings' serves as both a vital reference for maritime historians and a compelling narrative for those interested in the golden age of sail. It honors the legacy of the sailors and vessels that navigated treacherous waters to build a new society, making it a cornerstone of New Zealand's historical literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
