Put Him In The Longboat The Life Of Edward Main Chaffers
Transport & Engineering Biography & Memoir History
Put Him In The Longboat by Doug Edwards is a compact 1989 illustrated biography that charts the remarkable maritime life of Edward Main Chaffers, a 19th-century sailor whose logbooks and charts helped shape British exploration. In just 80 pages this vintage paperback delivers a vivid, true-story account for fans of nautical history and transportation lore.
The book is personally inscribed and warmly personalised, making it a one-of-a-kind keepsake for collectors of signed biographies or New Zealand maritimeana. Clean, tidy pages and a tight, supple binding mean it reads beautifully despite light cover scuffs that attest to its journey on and off the shelf.
GP Books published this English-language volume for an adult audience; its scarce, out-of-print status adds appeal for hunters of historical New Zealand titles. From a smoke-free home and free of additional handwriting, the copy invites you to dive straight into Chaffers’ seafaring world without distraction.
