Description
A typescript manuscript of a book titled They Came by Sea by Rear Admiral John O’Connell Ross was left to the National Library by his widow in 1983. Rear Admiral Ross, CB, CBE was the retired Chief of Naval staff who had written and published two books, his Stern Coast and The Red Ensign in New Zealand as well as numerous articles for historical journals. The manuscript was complete but required indexing and formatting for publication. The subject of the manuscript was that of all shipping arrivals in New Zealand to 1840, some 1750 arrivals in total, and records all the information that Rear Admiral Ross could find on the ship’s visits.
This book is adapted from the manuscript They Came By Sea and was compiled by Scott Matag.
