Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of an African Seaport: Being the History of the Port and Borough of Durban, the Seaport of Natal The purpose of this book is not only to provide in a concise from the history of the seaport of Natal, but to describe some of the commercial and maritime advantages the Port possesses as an entrepot to the vast trade resources of (he sub Continent of Africa. In the historical chapters, mere parochial matters of interest only to local inhabitants have been condensed in favour of the broader facts of history. In connection with the Harbour and the questions pertaining to its development, statistics and statements have been prepared without bias, and solely with the object of recording the truth. In order that this may be apparent, the condensed report by Sir Charles Hartley and Sir Wolfe Barry has been incorporated, while a record of mean Bar soundings from 1855 to 1898 is also reproduced. In the sections dealing with the Port and Harbour regulations, will be found all the information necessary to ship-masters visiting Natal, while merchants here and abroad are provided with full information as to trade and its conditions at the Port. In this connection it is necessary to mention that all Port regulations have been submitted to, and passed as correct by the Harbour authorities. The thanks of the author and publisher are due to the Port, Railway, and Borough officials for their unfailing courtesy in the compilation of the work, as well as to Mr. F. A. Sams, of Durban, for his assistance in the production of many of the illustrations. In conclusion, the author earnestly hopes that the effect of this publication will be beneficial in every respect to the Port and Town, both of which have a certain and brilliant future before them.
