This preowned, softback book has 180 pages.
It was written by Pennie Denton and publishe by Peveril Press in 2008.
This is the story of Walter Williams' life. It is also the story of the merchants, mariners, fishermen, coopers, ship builders, wives and children who were his colleagues, friends and relations in Mevagissey.
Together they faced financial hardship, deadly disease, and the risks involved in earning a living from the sea as sail slowly gave way to steam, and a unique era in Cornwall's history drew to a close.
The book is in very good condition.
