Harvey House, New York, 1962.  Hard cover, 93 pages including Index.  Very good; faded glass mark on front board, scattered foxing on top page block, binding sound.  Price-clipped dust jacket shows some edge and cover wear, short edge tears, some foxing and small stains; old glass mark on front panel; crease on front flap.  Illustrated end papers; interior clean and unmarked.  Colour and black & white illustrations by Manning De V. Lee.  ‘Freighters, tankers, ferries, tugs, and the many unusual ships that do highly specialized jobs are shown in action.  The work, the sailor’s language, the kind of life a seaman lives, the use of inventions like radar all contribute to this fascinating picture of SHIPS AT WORK.  The proudest of ocean liners are pictured and described as well as the humblest dugouts and sailing vessels of ancient times.’ (from front flap)
