Synopsis

"Deep-sea Sounding And Dredging" offers a detailed look at the methods and tools employed by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey during the late 19th century. Authored under the direction of the Survey and featuring insights from Charles D. Sigsbee, this volume meticulously describes the techniques used on board the steamer "Blake" for exploring the ocean depths.

From discussions of sounding apparatus to explanations of dredging procedures, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific endeavors undertaken to map and understand the underwater world. It serves as a valuable historical record of the era's scientific exploration and technological innovation. This edition preserves the original text and illustrations, making it an essential resource for historians of science, oceanography enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the early days of deep-sea exploration.
