Fair Winds and Rough Seas : The Story of the Holm Shipping Company

The little ships of Holm have been familiar visitors to every port in New Zealand ever since 1880, when Swedish-born Ferdinand Holm bought a share in the barque Malay. He and later his sons and his grandson built up a fleet of ships that traded not only in New Zealand's coastal waters but also across to Australia, to the Pacific Islands and ventured into the Antartic. This book tells the story, and it is a brave one.
