About This Item
Arbroath: Arbroath Herald. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - 6" X 4. A day by day passenger's detailed account of a 111 day voyage, via Cape Horn, between San Francisco and Liverpool. "Red Lichties" is the name given to people born in Arbroath - so called because Arbroath Harbour was the only harbour to have red lights. The voyage starts on 27 February 1890 and ends on June 18. Uncommon - not found in COPAC and only 2 copies found in the USA with Worldcat. Very good in original leather boards with a modern respine and new endpapers. Gilt title within nautical vignette to top board. A.E.G. Frontispiece engraving of ship "Sierra Parima" which was wrecked with the loss of all hands in 1896 in the Maldives.
