The little ships of Holm have been familiar visitors to every port in New Zealand ever since 1880.
When Swedish born Ferdinand Holm bought a share in the barque Malay he and later his sons notably Captain Sydney Holm and his grandson Captain John Holm, built up a fleet of ships that traded not only across to Australia, to the Pacific Islands and ventured into the Antarctic. This book tells their story, and it is a brave one.
