Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white text-photos (including frontispiece), glossy paper, minor edgewear. 56 pp. F. W. Perry and W. A. Laxon relate the story of the British shipping company that originated in the mid-19th century. The Nourse Line owed its foundation and growth to the energy and enterprise of one Ir…ishman, who successfully transitioned from owner-master afloat in command of a ship to a berth ashore running his own shipping company. Captain James Nourse was born in County Dublin in 1828, and passed the examination for his master's certificate in London in 1851, obtaining his first command the same year.
