Recenzii

'...is a truly remarkable book. ... If ever a book deserved to be called a labour of love, then this is it. The result is extensive referencing of original material such as personal and business correspondence, press reports and the ship's own logs. ... The author gives as much attention to the many men who owned, captained and crewed the Prince of Denmark as he does to the ship herself, and the effect is to bring vividly to life a period in our colonial past which is far less well known than it deserves to be'. Undiscovered Scotland 'Collin's richly illustrated and meticulously researched book tells the story of this remarkable ship... Among the rich cast of characters to come in contact with her were missionaries, prominent politicians, explorers, naturalists, ex-convicts and fraudsters. ...uses excerpts from their detailed logs to paint a vivid picture of life aboard'. Dumfries & Galloway Life 'An incredible account of a single ship. ... During her 74 years afloat under her original name, this ship encountered; Colonists, whalers, sealers, Maoris, botanists, missionaries, cannibals, convicts, aristocrats, explorers and seamen - with each encounter being worthy of a book (film even) in its own right. ...I would recommend the book because, just as soon as you start reading, you will find it hard to put down. ...an excellent example of research resulting in the most intriguing tale of a vessel from yesterday I have ever read'.
