Bag om A Cruise In An Opium Clipper (1891)

A Cruise In An Opium Clipper is a travelogue written by Lindsay Anderson in 1891. The book describes Anderson's journey on a clipper ship that was used to transport opium from India to China during the 19th century. Anderson describes the ship's crew, the ports they visited, and the opium trade itself. He also reflects on the moral implications of the opium trade and the impact it had on the people involved. The book provides a unique perspective on a controversial and little-known aspect of maritime history. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in maritime history, travel writing, or the social and political history of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
