Return of the Nonsuch: The Ship that Launched an Empire (Inscribed) - Rankin, Laird

INSCRIBED BY LAIRD RANKIN on ffep; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; More than 330 years ago, a sturdy little ship, crewed by stalwart group of adventurers, sealed deep into Canada's heartland through Hudson Bay. The ship was the Nonsuch and the voyage inspired the Hudson's Bay Company and a fur trade empire. Thee hundred years later, a replica of the Nonsuch was created and sailed for four years in the waters of three nations. During that time, and in the years since, in her permanent home in the Manitoba Museum, she has illuminated the past for hundreds of thousands of people. This is her remarkable story.
