Fourth in the series of books on clipper ships, this fully illustrated edition, "Clipper Ships - The Kiwi Connection", chronicles the "Mayflowers of New Zealand", the beautiful sailing ships which brought settlers from the Old North Country to the exotic South Pacific. Their passages round the Cape and through the roaring forties filled many stout hearts with awe, wonder, fear and romance. They heard the whistle and scream of the mighty westerlies in her rigging on many a darkened night when storms and icebergs made the heart of the exile and the pioneer emigrant quiver. But with a hard driving skipper and big fisted stony-faced mates, they were bound to an island which could only be won by a clear brain, stout heart and a strong ship. Relive their adventures in these narratives: "Clipper Ships - Emigrants Passage", "Clipper Ships - Wool and Wealth", "Clipper Ships - Iron Maidens" and "Clipper Ships - The Kiwi Connection".
