As far back as the early 1600s, the Dutch East India Company instructors merger ships to strike out eastwards after the Cape of Good Hope on their way to the East Indies. This brought the company ships close to the West Coast of Australia. Even though there was much danger for The Indiamen in those uncharted waters, the company thought the risk worth taking because the long voyage was almost halved. -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
