About

Celebrates the development of the New Zealand's volunteer coast guard organisation in New Zealand, from its beginnings on the Hauraki Gulf in the 1930s, into the modern national organisation of the 1990s. 

Over time the movement expanded to see stations set up at most NZ ports and boating communities. During WWII it was aligned with the Home Guard to continue its operations. Following that conflict development of CG was more sustained and by the 1990s was operating on a nation-wide basis with modern and sophisticated prodedures and equipment.

The author is a former CG president and commanding officer and his excellent history covers its evolution from a small and dedicated group of voluneers to the present efficient and vital service to those who venture to the sea. 

Well illustrated with B&W photos.
