Studies in Maritime History: Wilmington: Port of North Carolina written by Alan D. Watson, published by University of South Carolina Press, 1992, 213 pages, black hardcover book with silver lilt lettering on spine, book is clean and solid. The page ends had some light foxing, but I used a fine grade sanding block and easily removed the light foxing. Dust jacket is very good, shows slight edge wear but is now protected with a removable Broadart dust jacket protector.
