Capetown: Howard Timmons, n.d.. History of South African shipwrecks. "So many wrecks have appeared off the South African coast, the author's selection of the most interesting has not been an easy task, but here, with the glitter of scattered treasure, --the remote chill of the southern icelands, --the rescues and tragedies, is the story told." Decorated with nautical line illustrations at chapter headings and bound in red cloth. The dustjacket is badly chipped, though the book itself is in near fine condition. . 21.25 cm. 224 pp. b/w line illustrations
