Mostly excellent historicity but poor graphics, 22 May 1999
By A Customer
A real definitive work. Everything in detail (well nearly everything). Sadly no colour except cover. Illustrations appear to be second or third generation copies: even so many are new to the regular follower of offshore radio. More detail would be valuable and interesting. For example: what did the enigmatic numbers stand for at the end of transmissions from the Mi Amigo in the seventies? From where did tender supplies really originate for Mi Amigo and the Ross: not the jocks but fuel and water? Where is Candy Calvert, Chris Cross, Martin Green, Paul Elvey etc etc now??? What was the ultimate end of the Laissez Faire?....(still trading on the Great Lakes?) and so on. On-board pix, especially forts, would have added much. Why no sectional diagrams of all the ships/forts? - an opportunity missed for real afficionados of the time. Despite the ommissions it's well worth its price tag - for nostalgia and as a reference manual. Well done.
