Product Description
New Tales of Euterpe: The Star of India as a British Emigrant Ship
The Star of India is the world's best-preserved sailing ship to have carried emigrants across the world's oceans to new homes. Under her original name of Euterpe, she carried emigrants to New Zealand and Australia from about 1870 to about 1890. This unique book contains a fascinating, previously unpublished 1879 emigrant diary of great literary and historical merit, and other articles including a rare account written by a common seaman who later became a pioneering writer of horror fiction.
Contents:
"Evidence in English Iron: Stamp Marks on Euterpe" by Olaf Engvig
"The Stead Ellis Diary: Euterpe's Greatest Document"
"Euterpe's ‘Newest' Tale: The 1892 Diary of Rev. Henry Burnett"
"A Sailor's-eye View of Euterpe in 1898" by William Hope Hodgson
"The Literature of William Hope Hodgson, Sailor" by Jane Frank
"Star on Ice: The Star of India in Alaska, 1918"
(2003) 8 1/2" x 11", 68 pages, 79 illustrations, notes
