Noel Mostert

Noël Mostert is a South African historian and author of several books, including the best seller Supership which examined the oil shipping trade prior to 1974 when it was published.[1][2] Among a variety of topics covered, Supership includes critique of mechanical problems associated with VLCC (very large crude carriers)[3] and discussion of the impact of oil pollution at sea. Mostert's later works include Frontiers: the epic of South Africa's creation and the tragedy of the Xhosa people (1992)[4] and The line upon a wind : the greatest war fought at sea under sail, 1793-1815 (2007).[5]
