Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has minor marks on back cover and slight wear at edges.
A companion volume to Port Phillip: Pilots and Defences, this book portrays in detail facts about the development of the ports of Melbourne and Geelong. Both are the birthplaces of some of Australia's major shipping organisations - from paddle steamers and the earliest visitors to the container ships of the 1960s.
There are vivid descriptions of Lieutenant Murray's arrival in the Lady Nelson, Flinders in the Investigator, Grimes in the Cumberland and much more. (book flap)
