Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked -- apparently never read. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a library discard. Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue boards. From the publisher: "The handbook is a comprehensive guide to best practice for the safe navigation and operation of ships in ice. The guide provides seafarers with both a practical and conceptual understanding of this challenging environment. Topics covered include an overview of ice regions (including ice types, seasonal challenges and safe routeing practices), preparing a ship and its crew for ice (including crew training) and regulatory guidance. Trade in ice covered waters continues to grow and, increasingly, operators looking for future flexibility are building ships classed for operations in ice. This manual, written through collaboration with a number of experienced ice professionals, brings much of what is relevant for the Officer or Master on a merchant vessel, operating in ice conditions, to a single publication.This book balances the considerations for the different ice types that ships' officers may encounter, whether first year or multi-year ice, and the different ice types in the arctic, Great Lakes or the Baltic. A good example of the outcome of a misinterpretation of the ice type a vessel is presented with was given to the whole world in 2007, when the ' MS Explorer ' sank in the Antarctic Ocean. While, as in many incidents, there were numerous factors that uniquely came together, in this case the ShipÂ's Master was very experienced in first year Baltic Ice conditions but had no experience of multi-year ice . This meant that he failed to correctly identify the ice type as compacted multi year ice and entered it as if it were the first year ice conditions he was familiar with, with disasterous outcome. Covering Ice Types, Ice Conditions, The Main Ice Regions, Ice Class Ships, Preparations for a Ship and the Crew for Ice the book then moves to the practical aspects of Navigating in Ice, Shiphandling, Working with Icebreakers and Oil Pollution in Ice Covered Waters, this creates a manual that will remain as valid and up to date in 2020 as it is in 2010, although by then there may well need to be a few more case studies about the actions and outcomes of the unwary."

Add to basketKolkata and the Hoogly River Engraved chart on two map sheets with one inset view, part of the right margin restored in facsimile, some discolouration to the margins and a few minor tears. This rare map of the Hooghly River shows the river weaving through West Bengal from Kolkata, shown as an inset map, down to False Point harbour in the Bay of Bengal. The large delta is displayed prominently, complete with soundings, sailing instructions and notes on the quality of the river-bed beneath. As a navigable distributary of the Ganges, the Hooghly was of great importance in trade and communications, and after the Seven Years' War (1756-63), the English East India Company emerged as the dominant power on the river. The British soon established themselves at Calcutta, furnishing the settlement with distinctive European features, such as the fort shown on the inset map and labelled "Fort William". Local towns situated on the river were "looked upon as healthy suburban retreats by the Europeans in Calcutta" (Klein), explaining the great level of detail in which these settlements along the Hooghly are shown on this chart. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, however, these "healthy suburban retreats" were struck by malaria epidemic which may have reduced their populations by as much as half. Upon investigating this phenomenon, a British civil surgeon concluded that the East India Company's efforts at agrarian improvement may have prompted the influx of mosquitoes. While farming around the river had previously been small-scale but reliable, the British had attempted to make changes that would avoid the inevitable damage suffered during the monsoon floods. Further changes were also made to local industry around this time, with the East India Railway line along the Hooghly opened in 1854. This map was made by John Walker from the surveys completed by Captain Lloyd. Walker was a London-based mapseller, engraver, lithographer, hydrographer, geographer, draughtsman and publisher, who worked with both nautical charts and geographical maps. He followed in his father's footsteps as an official hydrographer of the British East India Company, and was consequently tasked with the production of a wide range of navigation materials, including Belcher's important map of Hong Kong and Carless' exploratory map of Karachi.
