Very good (minus) condition. Creasing to rear cover.A fishing vessel unlike any other appeared in the river Humber in 1954. This was Fairtry, the first stern-trawling factory ship. The idea of such a vessel had begun with Sir Charles Dennistoun Burney a prolific inventor who had already designed a futuristic car, a series of recoilless guns, and a seaplane.Burney believed that he could use his unique talents to change the face of the fishing industry, and Captain Harold Salvesen, head what was then the largest individual whaling concern in the world, was prepared to gamble that the inventor was right.
