Description
A.H. & A.W. Reed, Wellington, 1977. Good used condition with dust jacket.
'Servants of the North' will have a wide appeal for those to whom ships and the people who sail in them have a special attraction. The book sets out to record the heyday of the coastal steamers, when the little ships of the Northern Steam Ship Company carried passengers and cargo to isolated settlements scattered around the small bays and up the tidal creeks of North Auckland and further south as well, to Wanganui, Whakatane and the Coromandel. From a store of personal memories, and the spare-time study of a life-time, Cliff Furniss re-creates scenes from Auckland's colourful past.
