Description

The Cruise of the Acheron. Her Majesty's Steam Vessel on Survey in New Zealand Waters 1848-51 by Sheila Natusch. The Acheron is one of a select company of famous ships whose names will always remain prominent in New Zealand history. Over a four-year period beginning in 1848 she was sent out from England under orders from the Admiralty to make the first full and accurate survey of the coasts and harbours of New Zealand. The ninety-five illustrations follow the course of the voyage out via the Cape and Australia but refer mainly to the New Zealand survey. The dust jacket has very light general wear and the book remains in a bright and tight very tidy condition.
