Correspondence and documentation regarding 'The King's Ships' subsequent to the publication of the first three volumes.

Correspondence and other doucments related to 'The King's Ships', subsequent to the first three volumes being published. The original publisher died in 1922 and his widow turned publication of the remaining volumes over to three businessmen, Beamish, Fawcett and de Courcy Bowes, who established the King's Ships Publishing Company in 1923. However these men turned out to be fraudsters who collected subscriptions for the future volumes with no intention of publishing them.
