The Mosquito Fleet Hawkesbury River Trade And Traders 1794-1994
The Mosquito Fleet Hawkesbury River Trade And Traders 1794‑1994 by J Purtell is a richly illustrated non‑fiction work that explores the history of river transport in New South Wales. This trade paperback, published by Deerubbin Press in 1995, appeals to collectors, historians and anyone interested in Australian maritime heritage.
The book is signed by the author, Jean Purtell, adding a personal touch for enthusiasts of transportation and Australian history. It measures 218 pages of clean, tidy text and images, with a tight binding that holds up well.
Condition is solid: the pages are free of writing, though two corners show gentle dog‑ear marks, and the volume comes from a smoke‑free home. It’s a vintage title that fits comfortably in the Antiquarian & Collectible, History and Transportation categories.
