Ellerman Lines, by John Clarkson and Roy Fenton
Book published by Ships in Focus in 2004, 184 pages. Hardback - c.21.5cm by 30cm (A58L)
From the introduction: For over 100 years Orient Line was one of the most progressive and innovative British shipping companies. It was also the premier passenger line between Britain and Australia carrying thousands of people in its sailing ships and steamers. Orient Line a Fleet History traces for the first time the complete history of the company and its ships from the formation of Anderson, Thomson and Company in 1863 until the absorption of Orient Line into P&O in 1966 and the brief revival of its name between 1977 and 1987.
Peter Newall, author of Union-Castle Line a Fleet History, has produced what will probably be the definitive history of this famous line with individual histories of 129 ships including all the sailing ships from 1863 onwards; liners and tugs owned by Orient Line; Pacific Steam Navigation Company ships used in the joint Orient Line service between 1878-1909; war managed vessels and the series of liquid gas carriers and bulkers from 1977-1987. Also covered is the Orient Line’s presence at Tilbury and Australian ports,life aboard Orient ships from Orient to Oriana, and Orient liners under construction at Barrow-in-Furness.
Condition of the book is generally very good. The dust jacket has some minor scuffs, and light wear along the edges and corners, but the spine is intact and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
