About this Item

This is the original edition published by Putnams in 1908. No dustwrapper, some wear to spine ends and to a lesser extent the corners of blue boards, spine is a bit grubby and the white titles have lost their colour, as have those on front board but the illustration of a ship still has some white colour. Some yellowing to the pages, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book looking at the sloops which worked out of the Hudson River in New York state. According to the title page "An historical sketch of the packet and market sloops of the last century, with a record of their names, together with personal reminiscences of certain of the notable North River sailing masters". 171pp, 14 b&w illustrations Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
