DESCRIPTION - The rehabilitation people gave Clough Blair exactly two hours in which to find a cargo ship for sale, to muster a complete crew of ex-servicemen and to think up a case for a loan with which to buy the ship and launch a shipping line. He was successful. He and his mates defied the marine experts, the financial magnates, the professional pessimists and the Big Brothers of the overseas-owned shipping lines, and launched their little Tasman Shipping Company into prosperous waters. This history follows their fortunes through the highs and lows of the coastal and Tasman cargo trade.
