1981 Sail In The South Australian Maritime History Book With LEIGHTON PROVENANCE

Sail In The South - The Great Days Of Sail Around Australia and New Zealand
By Ronald Parsons
Published by Rigby Publishers Limited: Adelaide (Print In Singapore) 1980
Provenance: Carries A Presentation Award Plate & Letter From The Commonwealth Of Australia/Bureau Of Meterology To Capt. Henry Leighton of Australian National Line In Appreciation Of Ship's Weather Reporting

" 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."
