New York South Street Seaport 1969 Hardcover Very Good
[12], 134 pages, illustrations, cloth, very good. With a foreword by Alan Villiers. From the preface: The Wavertree is one of the last of the square-rigged sailing ships that traded to New York. Built in 1885 and dismasted 25 years later off Cape Horn, the Wavertree survived the ensuing decades as a storeship and later a sand barge in South America. Wavertree: An Ocean Wanderer is the result of researches into the career of this survivor of the era of deep-water navigation under sail. Captain Villiers has contributed a fine appreciation of the ship and her times. Captain Spiers gives us the true narrative of a year's voyage in her. Many others have contributed to the summary of her career which makes up the latter part of the book. " PM61; 134 pages
