1925 The Return Of The "Cutty Sark" Antique Australian Maritime History Book

The Return of The "Cutty Sark"

By C. Fox Smith

Published by Methuen & Co Ltd: London 1925 3rd Edition - With 8 Illustrations (All Present)

" The Return of the "Cutty Sark" by C. Fox Smith, published by Methuen & Co. Ltd., London in 1925 (3rd edition), is a lyrical and evocative tribute to one of the most famous clipper ships ever built. Blending narrative history with poetic sensibility, Smith recounts the story of the Cutty Sark, from her glory days as a tea clipper racing between China and Britain to her later years and remarkable preservation. The work captures both the romance and the hardship of life at sea, reflecting the author's deep affinity with maritime tradition and her skill in bringing nautical history vividly to life.

Richly illustrated with eight photographic plates, all present in this edition, the book offers visual reinforcement to its narrative, depicting the ship in various stages of her life, including her reappearance in the early twentieth century. Smith's writing is infused with nostalgia for the age of sail, yet remains grounded in historical detail, chronicling the vessel's construction, voyages, and the enduring legacy she carried into a new era. The inclusion of contemporary references to her 1924-25 restoration adds immediacy and historical significance to the account.

This 1925 third edition stands as a charming and collectible example of early twentieth-century maritime literature, presented in its original binding. The combination of literary elegance, historical importance, and illustrative content makes it a desirable piece for collectors of nautical history, maritime enthusiasts, and admirers of classic British shipping heritage."
