First published 1984. An enthusiast's account of 1] the Brocklebanks' shipowning and shipbuilding businesses at Whitehaven and Liverpool from the 1770s and 2] Robert & Henry Jefferson who were merchants and shipowners at Whitehaven and Antigua. The common denominator between the two businesses is the Wise family who were master mariners. Strong focus on ships with detailed ship lists - Brocklebank pp100-33, Jefferson pp134-7.
