AMERICAN MERCHANT SHIPS 1850-1900; AMERICAN MERCHANT SHIPS 1850-1900. SERIES TWO.

Salem, Massachusetts:Marine Research Society. 1930 + 1931. Two volumes, 399pp + 358pp. Both volumes first edition. Hardcover. Original blue boards with title in gilt on spine; both volumes show some light shelf-wear and soiling. Both spines also show some sun-fading. Otherwise in very good condition. Interiors are clean, bright and free of stray markings, though there is some age-toning to the page edges throughout with some scattered foxing, often opposite plates. Overall, this is a very good set.
