Koehler Verlagsgesellscaft mbH Hereford. 1984. 1st Edition. Hard back text in English. Well illustrated in colour and black and white. When a large scale firm remains in the possession of one family for 150 years, and on its anniversary day is still a healthy undertaking, this is no mean achievement. It is all the more remarkable when the company operates two branches of business which for years have been regarded in the Federal Republic (Germany) as a crisis prone economic sectors: shipping and shipbuilding. With this combination the house of Rickmers holds a unique place in German shipping history. This book aims to provide a factual summary of 150 years of the firms changing fortunes. With charts of Rickmers Werft output since 1945, a chart of the most important dates in the company history, and a Rickmers shipyard new buildings from 1836 to 1984, a chronological list of the Rickmers Rhederei and Rickmers- Linie ships. As new condition. llustrated dust over green coloured cloth end boards. 128pp. 278 x 215 mm.
