Near Fine. Large 8vo. Signed by Author 320pp, index, passenger list, bw & col ills. Or pictorial card covers. SINGED by author at bottom of title page. The Champion of the Seas was launched in 1854-the largest sailing ship in trade afloat. On one of her noon-to-noon runs she covered 465 nautical miles which remains a record to this day. Between 1854 and 1868 she carried 5300 emigrants from Liverpool to Australia on 15 voyages, the forebears of hundreds of thousands of Australian today. This volume is a collection of Champion material including complete passenger lists and comprehensive crew listings as well as extracts from the Captain's log. Also includes reprints of the onboard weekly newspaper printed on board.
