Item description from seller

This copy is in mint, unmarked condition bound in purple cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in mint condition International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This is the story, told in superb pictures and fnie historical detail, of six centuries of sail on the rivers Tyne and Wear. The riverside communities, the tradesmen, the shipyards and the regions' famous personalities played extraordinarily important roles in the opening up of the world's trading routes and the expansion of the British Empire. In the early twentieth century the canvas and wood sailing ships died - to be replaced by steam engines and steel hulls. Then the rivers and their industries died. But now the two rivers and the region are undergoing regeneration. The Tall Ships visit to the Tyne in 1993 can be seen as a symbol of change and renewal for both rivers. The mighty tall ships have come back and so has the region. Ref FCB.
