Ordeal By Ice. Ships of the Antarctic
First Edition Signed
US$ 30.89
US$ 20.45 shipping
Ships from United Kingdom to U.S.A.Quantity: 1 available
Add to baskethardcover. 2011 First Edition. 544pp, 189 x 247mm, maps, colour photos, black and white photos, hardback, elibrary, a few stamps but very clean indeed, VG- in VG dw with no library marks, label signed by Rorke Bryan to title page. This richly illustrated book is destined to become the reference book on ships of the Antarctic. Surrounded by some of the most hazardous seas, Antarctica was first sighted less than three centuries ago. Since then, hundreds of ships have voyaged in Antarctic waters, challenged by poorly-charted waters, storms, pack ice, icebergs, and disease. This is the story of these ships, the expeditions they supported, and their subsequent history, from the fifteenth-century fleets of the Ming Emperors of China to the tourist ships and powerful icebreakers of today. Using extensive research in archives, museums, libraries and private sources around the world, Rorke Bryan brings the stories of these ships into a single, comprehensive record. Familiar names such as Terra Nova and Endurance feature with unfamiliar but equally important ships. From the hundreds of tales of heroic seamanship, the extraordinary 1830-1832 circumnavigation by Captain John Biscoe in the tiny Tula is perhaps matched only by Shackleton's voyage in the James Caird. Plans, photos, paintings and maps enhance description of the expeditions and activities of the ships. This authoritative work fills an important gap in Antarctic literature. A substantial volume, a must have for any polar collection. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.

Ships to Remember (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by The History Press Ltd, Stroud, 2016
ISBN 10: 0750965908 ISBN 13: 9780750965903
Hardcover. Condition: new. Dwyer, Austin (illustrator). Hardcover. Beautifully illustrated, readable accounts of pivotal ships spanning nearly 1500 years of history around the world 'Ships To Remember' is a beautifully illustrated collection of stories about remarkable ships. Some are famous, but many, like the tugs, Yelcho, Foundation Franklin and Turmoil are virtually unknown. The book includes two boats, the Bounty's launch and the James Caird, which completed two of the most extraordinary voyages in maritime history, but all of the vessels had interesting and dramatic careers and were involved in many major historical incidents. They include the catastrophic sinking and eventual recovery of the Vasa, Nelson's triumph at the Battle of Copenhagen, Darwin's epochal voyage on HMS Beagle, and pivotal Second World War relief of Malta by the tanker, Ohio. AUTHOR: Rorke Bryan is a specialist in geomorphology and dryland management who has published widely and worked in all over the world. Austin Dwyer graduated from the Burnley School of Professional Art, Seattle, taught Illustration and Design and co-founded Cohen-Dwyer Advertising and Marketing. A prominent marine artist, he has exhibited widely and won numerous awards. SELLING POINTS: . Illustrated by maritime artists' original paintings as well as maps, sketches and photographs . Based on detailed primary study of existing ships or replicas, and on 172 books, many rather inaccessible . Intended to promote visits to and support for those ships which still exist, such as the Cutty Sark in London, the Vasa in Stockholm and the St. Roch in Vancouver. . From Europe and North America, each represents a major ship category 130 b/w 48 colour plates Small, scruffy and stinking of seal oil and old blubber, the 458-ton Nimrod wasnt Ernest Shackletons first choice of ship for his Antarctic Expedition. Ships to Remember, beautifully illustrated by the paintings of Austin Dwyer, is a collection of stories about remarkable ships, some of which went on to change the course of history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
