Large 8vo; original blue buckram, lettered in gilt on spine; dustwrapper in removable protector; pp. xvii + (i) + 392, incl. index; several plates, a few of which in colour, incl. portrait plates with tissue guards. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed; earlier owner's bookplate to front free endpaper. A lovely copy. "The exciting struggle between the Union Line and the Castle Line is fully dealt with, a struggle that ended in victory for Sir Donald Currie, founder of the Castle Line and creator, in 1900, of the amalgamated Union-Castle Line. The story shows, too, how World Wars and economic depressions notwithstanding, the Union-Castle Company has to-day emerged with one of the finest merchant fleets afloat. The illustrations cover many interesting episodes in the Company's history and show almost every type of vessel that has been employed from the 1850's down to the present day. As appendix there is a complete list of the Company's ships, with brief notes on each.".

Boards a bit rubbed and partially sunned; earlier owner's bookplate and a blank, diagonal label to front free endpaper; foxing throughout. Good. 'Marischal Murray was a distinguished son of Sea Point. His father was Dr Fred Murray, one-time mayor of Sea Point, who gave unstintingly of his time and energies to the civic and educational life of the area. The passion of Mr Murray's life was ships and the sea, and this took him to many parts of the world in all kinds of sea-going craft. He was the author of Ships and South Africa, the standard work on steamships of the Cape run, published in 1933, and of Union-Castle Chronicle, published in 1953. After having taken an Honours degree in History at Oxford, he was for some years sub-librarian at the Library of Parliament and, later, at the University of Cape Town. A modest man of intellectual tastes, a gift for painting, and a great delight in music, he played his part in two world wars. Home, to Marischal Murray, was always "Under Lion's Head", and for many years his friends urged him to write the history of this part of the Cape Peninsula which he knew and loved so well. He was preparing this book for the press when, at the age of 64, he died on 13th April 1963.'.
