Description
The Mosquito Fleet Of Canterbury records an almost forgotten aspect of Canterbury history - the role of sea transport in the development of the province. It explores the range of shipping and shipbuilding activity in early Canterbury and includes ship specifications, chronologies, fleet lists and shipping companies while Bill Huntley's sketches and paintings bring a strongly visual dimension to the text.
