With this book comes a mint Booklet put out by the Beaver House in London, 1969; Signed by the Rt. Hon. Viscount Amory, Governor (Company Chairman) of the Hudson's Bay Company; British Conservative politician and member of the House of Lords. Also included are two news clippings regarding the Nonsuch.

In 1970, about 300 years after the original, a (replica) ship came to Canada. 66 photographs and drawings add an important visual dimension to this contemporary nautical adventure.

The original ship, the Nonsuch, led to the founding of the Hudson's Bay Trading Company. Laird Rankin, the man responsible for the Nonsuch from the moment she reached Canada, tells the behind-the-scenes story of the replica project, and outlines the painstaking procedure of her construction in England.

Very clean book with super nice dust jacket. Minimal shelf wear to jacket. Bright clean pages with no markings. Please see photos, enlarge and feel free to email with any questions.
