Publisher's hardcover binding with the arms of Walvis Bay of the front panel.

197pp. Illustrations in profusion.

This copy has been signed by both authors on the title page (dated 21st March, 1979), as well as on their portraits on the page following the title page. Additionally J.J.J. Wilken (who was the Town Clerk) has signed and dated his preface.

'Much has been said and written about Walvis Bay but there is no complete record of its history.

This book tells the story of the port and the settlement of Walvis Bay, and has been compiled from a variety of sources.

To collate all the necessary information has been a mammoth task, and that could only be undertaken successfully by a person with considerable devotion to and interest in history. Such a person is my fellow-author and I am greatly indebted to her for all her effort.' - J.J.J. Wilken
