Cloth Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. A like-new, bright, clean, tight copy sans flaws. in a Mylar Protective Cover. "This book is inspired by the discovery of letters written by the captain of H.M.S. Dwarf, a Victorian gunboat sent to the Falklands at the request of the Governor to enforce a conservation regime on brutal and unprincipaled sealers. Commander Sir William Wiseman was perceptive, witty, and mildly eccentric. Through his eyes we can observe life ashore and afloat - the Islanders, the ship and her people, and the amazing wildlife and scenery which remain largely unchanged to this day." ILLUSTRATED in archival black & white photography (most full page) with accompanying descriptive captions ""A fascinating story comes to life, one which puts a microscope on both the Falkland Islands and the Royal Navy of that age, when Britannia certainly ruled the waves but in the remoter parts of the Empire things were not always what they seemed." 160 pages. GP1.
