Synopsis
The Cruise Of The R.Y.S. Eva by Arthur Kavanagh. This travelogue-narrative recounts a shooting cruise in 1862–1864 aboard a Royal Yacht Squadron vessel, the Eva, a 130-ton schooner, detailing life aboard, hunting for pigs, ducks, and woodcock, and encounters along the Irish Sea, the Bay of Biscay, the Straits of Gibraltar, and the Ionian coast. The author interleaves vivid voyage-descriptions with practical maritime knowledge, including how to determine position by celestial observation and by account, navigation variations, currents, tides, and weather signaling. The book blends humor with technical detail, presenting episodes of rough weather, shipboard discipline, Albanian guides and dogs, and even a light-hearted mutiny narrative, while offering reflections on Ionian governance and the cession of the Ionian Islands. Rich with incident, landscape, and anecdote, it stands as both a vivid maritime memoir and a manual-like chronicle of 19th-century yachting and hunt- ing in the Albanian and Mediterranean environs. Published in 1865.
