Put Him In The Longboat by Doug Edwards is a lively 1989 New Zealand maritime biography that drops readers into the cramped, salt-soaked world of historic longboat crews. In just 80 illustrated pages, Edwards blends personal recollection with seafaring detail, making this slim paperback a perfect quick read for fans of nautical history and true-life exploration tales.

The volume carries a warm personalised inscription, adding a unique touch collectors love. Generous line drawings throughout bring deck scenes and rigging to life, while the tight binding ensures the book feels sturdy in hand. A faint vintage patina on the covers hints at its journey from smoke-free shelves to yours.

Ideal for adults who relish Biographies & True Stories, Transportation history, or South Pacific adventure, this GP Books edition captures a bygone era of courage and camaraderie.
