This extraordinary book collects those fragments for a profound and haunting exploration of our seafaring past. In his moving and original new history, Tom Nancollas goes in search of eleven relics that together tell the story of Britain at sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891414335524,"sku":"B9780241434154","price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-the-ship-asunder-book.jpg?v=1785753424","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/the-ship-asunder","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
