Various Ships - "Cargoes: Matson's First Century in the Pacific" by William Worden

Matson Line:  "Cargoes: Matson's First Century in the Pacific" by William Worden, printed 1981, hardbound with dust jacket, 196 pages. Written by Nautiques friend Bill Worden, "Cargoes" is the definitive story of Matson's first 100 years.  Here is an apt description from the jacket cover: "With the newsman's verve, the scholar's patience, and the gift of one who loves his subject, William L. Worden has written a vibrant history of a remarkable, ongoing American phenomenon."   For ship lovers there are lots of photos and an appendix listing every Matson vessel from the EMMA CLAUDINA of 1881 to the KAUAI of 1980. Very good condition with a few small tears in the dust jacket.
