Blake, George

British Ships and Shipbuilders [Britain in Pictures Series]

Collins, London, 1946. First Edition, Hardcover (Printed Boards). Very Good Condition/Very Good. Great Britain has long survived on the excellence of its ships and its sailors, and the great names are familiar to us all. Less well-known is the story of the development of these ships and of the men who designed and made them. This is the story Mr. Blake tells, starting with the primitive vessels of Elizabethan times and leading on to the present day and the magnificent performance of the British shipbuilding industry in the war of 1939-1945, when - to give one example - the Clyde alone was turning round one hundred ships a week, both new ships launched and damaged ships repaired. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 48 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Dust Jacket is fully intact, no tears or chips, but carries signs of wear to top and bottom edges, corners etc. Dust Jacket un-clipped. Previous owner's inscription in ink, neat. White titles spine. illustrated by 29 b/w. illustrations, plus 8 colour plates. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Ships & the Sea; Britain/UK; History.

Yorkshire Archaeological Society Record Series Volume CV: The First Order Book of the Hull Trinity House 1632-1665

Yorkshire Archaeological Society, Yorkshire, 1942. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/No Dust Jacket. from the 34-page introduction: "The Guild or Fraternity of Masters and Pilots, Seamen of the Trinity House of Kingston upon Hull is one of the oldest and most interesting corporations in England, Its history is too long to be written as the introduction to the first of its longer records to be published. I propose to confine myself in the present introduction to such particulars of the history and functions of the guild as will help the reader more fully to understand the record now set before him. Although sometimes regarded, even in Hull, as a sort of “branch office" of the London Trinity House, the Hull Trinity House is, and always has been, an independent body, which, although its charter of incorporation is later than that of the London Trinity House, may well claim to be the elder of the two, Long before its formal incorporation, the Hull Trinity House was a recognised guild, exercising many of those functions which it was later authorised by charter to perform. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 34 +193 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Endpapers slightly foxed, text block clean. book now in archive acetate film protection. a few pencilled dates in the margins to first ten pages of introduction.

Diaper, Captain Tom

Tom Diaper's Log: Memoirs Of A Racing Skipper.

Robert Ross & Co. Ltd. London, 1950. First Edition, Hardcover (Quarterbound blue cloth and marbled paper). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. The personal memoirs of Tom Diaper, one of the great yacht skippers who raced for many famous yacht owners in the late 19th and early 20th century; with an introduction by Sir Sidney Wadsworth who describes "being completely carried away reading this unsophisticated but vivid and convincing narrative" of Diaper who spent his whole life at sea, his first job as a pantry boy aboard a team yacht, the 'Queen of Palmyra' in 1879 aged just 13. He retired in 1936 when he had become one of the most famous and successful of professional yacht skippers. He worked for the Earl of Dunraven, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Sir Thomas Lipton and many other famous yachtsmen. At the height of his success it was difficult to get other skippers to race against him. His account of his varied career is fascinating and depressing. It clearly shows how precarious was the livelihood gained even by the most gifted of professional yachting seamen. Unfortunately the author did not live to see the publication of his book, dying on the 12th December 1949 at the age of 82. Illustrated by 8 b/w. photo's. & with facsimiles of his handwritten notes at the head of each chapter. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xi + 163 + 1. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.

Paine, Ralph Delahaye

Colonial Ships and Sailors

Society of Colonial Wars, New York, 1926. First Edition, Softcover (Saddle-stapled). Very Good Condition. Publication No. 36 of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York. The 20th century has all but forgotten the era when Yankee topsails, like flying clouds, flecked every ocean, when tall spars forested every harbor from Portland to Charleston, and when the American spirit of adventurous enterprise and rivalry was in its finest flower on the decks of our merchant squadrons. A great chapter of the nation's life on blue water was written in the days. of the matchless clippers which swept round the Horn to San Francisco or fled homeward from the Orient in the van of the tea fleets. The Cape Horn clippers were able to survive the Age of Steam a few years longer than the Atlantic packet ships, such as the immortal Dreadnought, but their glory departed with the Civil War, and therefore the story of the American merchant marine involved a swift and sorrowful decay. The boys of the Atlantic coast whose fathers had followed the sea in legions, turned inland to find their careers, and the sterling qualities which had been bred in the bone by generations of salty ancestry, now helped to conquer the western wilderness. 34 pages. Cover slightly grubby. no Dust Jacket as published.. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 250 grams. Category: Ships & the Sea; Maritime; Maritime History; Piracy; United States; History.
