Dark blue morocco boards bound by Sangorski and Sutcliffe with Flint's key design in gilt to the upper cover, gilt lettering to spine, t.e.g. On the second initial blank Flint has written in pencil 'All the pencil drawings (except Neptune) were made direct from the figureheads in the lower hold of the Cutty Sark, in a very poor light.
