Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. Condizione sovraccoperta: Poor. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. "Gold! That magic word turned the world into a wild, woolly stampede toward California in '49. Fast clipper ships, beauties to behold, loaded with freight and passengers, raced each other around the treacherous Cape Horn of South Africa and up the Pacific to San Francisco to join the hundreds of empty hulls anchored and deserted. Many returned to their home ports, others sailed on to Asia for cargoes of tea, coffee, and spices, and raced homeward to make history. Others were lost, never to be heard of again; but that is the life of the sea, cruel and filled to the brim with hardships, yet ever alluring to the sailor and adventurer -- to take things as he finds them, to mingle and merge, to love and marry irrespective of color or creed, that the world may carry on."
