1975 Alma Doepel by Captain Ralph McDonell Australian Maritime History Book 1st

Alma Doepel
By Captain Ralph McDonell
Published by Brown, Prior, Anderson: Burwood 1975 1st Edition

" This evocative volume brings together a striking selection from the A.D. Edwardes Collection of shipping photographs held by the State Library of South Australia, accompanied by Ronald Parsons' authoritative text. Through detailed historical notes and beautifully reproduced images, the book retraces the great era of sail in Australasian waters—from immigrant clippers and gold-rush traders to coastal schooners, barques, and the majestic windjammers that once dominated the Roaring Forties. Parsons provides rich context on shipbuilding, maritime routes, trade patterns, and the perils of southern ocean voyaging, creating a vivid record of the seamanship, engineering, and human endeavour that shaped early Australian and New Zealand maritime history.

The copy offered here is further enhanced by its laid-in ephemera: a Bureau of Meteorology presentation certificate and accompanying letter (dated 2 December 1981) awarded to Captain Henry Leighton of the Australian National Line in recognition of excellence in shipboard weather observations and reporting—an appealing piece of provenance linking modern maritime service to the traditions celebrated in the book. A superb historical tribute to the final great days of sail, this volume will appeal to collectors of maritime history, Australiana, and classic nautical photography."
