The inspiration of the sailing ship for the artist, manifest in the great marine paintings of four hundred years, is part of the adventure too. So are the excitement and love inspired by the sailing ship in ordinary people, which created the demand for innumerable simple prints of ships throughout the age of sail. Captain Donald Macintyre has written a historical record of four centuries, from the first circumnavigation of the world to the virtual disappearance of the square~rigged ship. This is followed by a selection of contemporary writings of many nations, from 1520 to 1914 ( Francisco Antonio Pigafetta, William Bourne, Sir Francis Drake the Younger, Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, Gerrit de Veer, Willem Cornelison Schouten, Thomas Heywood, A. Richer, George Lord Anson, Louis de Bougainville, Captain James Cook, Horatio Viscount Nelson, Captain Isaac Hull USN, Richard Dana, Captain H. A. Chippendale USN, Basil Lubbock, Basil Greenhill CBE, Joseph Conrad, etc.), each piece showing an important aspect of the age of sail, the whole combining with over three hundred beautiful illustrations to give a comprehensive picture of the sailing ship experience. Captain Macintyre traces the development of sails, rigging and hull design, from the caravel, carrack and galleon to the clipper epoch, when the sailing ship became a thing of visual and functional perfection; and beyond to the autumn of the age of sail, to the great steel~hulled four and five~masted barques and barquentines, which had a strange beauty of their own.' He tells the story of maritime exploration and the establishment of commerce : a story of friendly or hostile competition among nations sharing the common experience of the struggle against the sea. Adventure, in the ordinary sense of dramatic and exciting episodes, fills the history of sail and has received an extraordinary amount of eyewitness documentation. The selection of contemporary documents in this volume unfolds a stirring tale of storms, shipwrecks and fights, of famous ships and the men who sailed in them. It shows, as nothing else can, what life in sailing ships was really like. It relives great moments of discovery or despair, such as the first rounding of Cape Horn, or the last voyage of Willem Barents in his brave and futile search for the Northeast Passage, ennobled by the courage and dignity of a crew lost among ice and polar bears in the dark, dreaded Arctic winter. It evokes the brutality of life at sea, but also its warmer, more humorous side. After the horrors of Anson's voyage it is a relief to read of Bougainville's reception at Tahiti and the meeting of Cook's sailors with the nymphs of Nootka Sound. The odyssey of the human spirit is ever present in The Adventure of Sail, from the perceptive introduction by the famous modern sailing man and boat designer, Uffa Fox, to the highly.

Book First Edition
(Hardcover, 1987 ). 1987 1st edition. Oblong folio (395 x 347mm). Ppx,593. Colour and b/w illustrations, maps and charts, folding chart in pocket at rear. Light blue cloth, upper board and spine titled in white, blind-stamped cod motif to upper board. A fine unread copy. The threat of oil exploration and the extension of the United States and Canada's fishery limits to 200 miles in the 1970s led to fisheries and jurisdiction disputes over these productive fishing grounds. These prompted the publication of this massive review of the natural science of the bank. Geology, oceanography, ecology and fisheries in great depth. .

cloth with Dustjackets. Reprint Editions. Two romantic women's novels originally published in the 1930's and reprinted here by Triangel Books in the 1940's. Both novels have great dustjackets highlighted by wonderful full color glamour girl artwork. The Tawny (1946) has a tiny scrape and minor chipping. The insides are of course brown due to age and the cheap paper used but this is a nice copy. Nina (1948) also has beautiful glamour girl art but there is a tear on her neck and the usual browning, but also a nice copy. The dustjacket artists remain unknown to me. Sold as a collection only. Book.
