Description
Hardcover, steel blue cloth cover, with dust jacket, entitled "Dictionary of Disasters at Sea during the Age of Steam - Including sailing ships and ships of war lost in action 1824-1962" by Charles Hocking, F.L.A., formerly the Borough Librarian of Acton, Middlesex, England. It was first published in 1969 by Lloyd's Register of Shipping and printed by Lloyd's Register of Shipping at Garrett House, Manor Royal Crawley, Sussex, England. The first London Stamp Exchange Edition was published in 1989, this edition published by The London Stamp Exchange of London in 1990, in conjunction with George A. Brown, A.I.I.C. of Langley, British Columbia, Canada, printed by Bookcraft Limited of Midsomer Norton, ISBN 0 948130 687. It begins with a Letter of Appreciation dedicated to the original writer of the Foreword, Admiral Lord Mountevans of Chelsea, followed by the Foreword and Explanatory Notes. As stated in both the Foreword and on the dust jacket, it describes the basic content of the book: "It will be appreciated that no dictionary of disasters at sea, even within so limited a period as that covered by the age of steam, can hope to deal with every wreck or stranding occurring upon the seven seas. The compass of this work has therefore had to be limited, but it does include all shipping casualties occurring since 1824 (inclusive) and up until the end of 1962, on the high seas, in territorial waters, or in inland waters, including ship canals, and falling within the following categories: I - Ships of war (surface) lost by enemy action or by ordinary military marine risks (merchant ships requisitioned for naval purposes are treated as warships); II - British merchant ships of 500 tons gross and over, foreign merchant ships of 1,000 tons gross and over, lost by ordinary marine risks with the loss of five or more lives, ships of 10,000 tons gross and over with or without loss of life; III - British and foreign merchant ships, of 500 and 1,000 tons gross respectively, lost by enemy action action in World Wars I and II whether loss of life was reported or not. In addition, many other losses outside these categories have been included for reasons of general interest." The 779 page section entitled Dictionary of Disasters at Sea during the Age of Steam is an alphabetically listing, each listing taking into account the type of ship, the ship's owner, its date of launching, the ship's builder, the vessel's pertinent statistics, the location of its sinking, all in italicized text, followed by a block of text in boldface text describing what is known as to the events leading up to and the circumstances under which the ship met its demise. The book contains 788 pages of text, printed in black ink, on a white paper stock, the top edges of the pages coloured in steel blue, weighing 1.8 kilograms, measuring 215 mm (w) x 275 mm (h) x 50 mm (d). It exhibits a small dent at the lower left corner on the front cover, along with two spots on the side of the pages, however, the pages contained within remain unaffected. Near extremely fine.
