About This Item
From the d.j.: "The Red Star Line, one of the oldest and best known shipping lines ever to send ships out to sail the oceans, was founded in 1872 and liquidated in 1935. All of the Red Star ships, bearing such famous names as the VADERLAND, NEDERLAND, BELGENLAND, RHYNLAND, WESTERNLAND AND PENNLAND, sailed under the Belgian flag, although the Company was financed by Americans. Vernon E. W. Finch, once the youngest crew member on the Red Star ships, has written the whole story of this renowned shipping concern. His book is based on years of research, and contains many useful photographs of the Red Star ships, their interiors, their crews and the Red Star buildings. Vernon E. W. Finch himself says: "The end result is this book about an unusual maritime venture, written with the sole purpose of preserving for future generations a record as detailed as I could find about the Red Star Line."
