[OTTOMAN MILITARY MAP of PATAGONIA and FALKLAND ISLANDS: ROUTE of DRESDEN] Alman kruvazörü Dresden'in takîbi ve tahrîbi.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original color map. Elephant folio. (59x75 cm). In Ottoman script. [OTTOMAN MILITARY MAP of PATAGONIA and FALKLAND ISLANDS: ROUTE of DRESDEN] Alman kruvazörü Dresden'in takîbi ve tahrîbi. SMS Dresden cruiser's routes between 1913-1915 (World War 1) on the Patagonian shelf; western shores of South America, Patagonia and Falkland Islands. Dresden spent much of her career overseas. After commissioning, she visited the United States in 1909 during the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, before returning to Germany to serve in the reconnaissance force of the High Seas Fleet for three years. In 1913, she was assigned to the Mediterranean Division. She was then sent to the Caribbean to protect German nationals during the Mexican Revolution. In mid-1914, she carried the former dictator Victoriano Huerta to Jamaica, where the British had granted him asylum. She was due to return to Germany in July 1914, but was prevented by the outbreak of World War I from doing so. At the onset of hostilities, Dresden operated as a commerce raider in South American waters in the Atlantic, then moved to the Pacific Ocean in September and joined Maximilian von Spee's East Asia Squadron. Dresden saw action in the Battle of Coronel in November, where she engaged the British cruiser HMS Glasgow, and at the Battle of the Falkland Islands in December, where she was the only German warship to escape destruction. She eluded her British pursuers for several more months, until she put into Robinson Crusoe Island in March 1915. Her engines were worn out and she had almost no coal left for her boilers, so the ship's captain contacted the local Chilean authorities to have Dresden interned. She was trapped by British cruisers, including her old opponent Glasgow. The British violated Chilean neutrality and opened fire on the ship in the Battle of Más a Tierra. The Germans scuttled Dresden and the majority of the crew escaped to be interned in Chile for the duration of the war. The wreck remains in the harbor; several artifacts, including her bell and compass, have been returned to Germany.

The publications are not only used by the British Royal Navy but can also be found on board the majority of international merchant ships. The data provided in the pilot guides and other publications are compliant with SOLAS the Safety of Life at Sea treaty guidelines and are updated constantly in weekly "Notices to mariners" and supplements to and new editions of the pilot guides whenever necessary.The present copy is the 10th edition 1955 of the pilot guide with sailing directions and other information on the weather currents radar ranges etc. relating to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden including the supplement issued in 1957. It includes an erroneous "advertisement to the eight edition" by the Hydrographer of the Navy Rear-Admiral Kenneth St Barbe Collins 1904-1982. The advertisement states that with the publication of "the ninth edition" presumably this volume the previous edition and its supplements are cancelled since the most up-to-date information has been compiled in the new edition and the weekly "Notices to mariners" that appeared after the publication of the 11th edition. The 10th edition of 1955 and its 1957 supplement were made redundant with the publication of the 11th edition in 1967. Each subsequent edition of the pilot supersedes the last which have appeared infrequently depending on newly available information from the mid-19th century until the present day.The front paste-down and recto of the first free endpaper contain a "caution" notice and room for the notation of "supplements and annual summaries of notices to mariners relating to this book" the first two pages are printed on red-pink paper.

[NAVIGATION]. [VRIES, Klaas de, and others].
Schatkamer of konst der stuurlieden.Holland ca. 1735/40. Folio 31.5 x 20.5 cm. A manuscript course in navigation written in brown ink on laid paper in a largely upright cursive hand with 6 colour figures including 2 volvelles about 100 black and white diagrams and numerous tables of data highlighted with a yellow wash. Green paper wrappers made from a discarded prospectus or the wrapper of an instalment of a book ca. 1865 later green cloth spine.
2 blank 16 19-109 9 blank pp.A detailed manuscript course in the art of navigation in folio format with figures in colour including two volvelles partly based on the very rare first edition in 8vo format of Klaas de Vries 1662-1730 Schat-kamer ofte konst der stier-lieden 1702; Crone 374 probably in the first issue not known to survive before the insertion of an additional quire between B and C. But the manuscript doesn't merely copy the printed book: at least much of the text differs and also at least some of the tabular data and some of the figures also have no direct equivalents in the printed book also not in later editions as far as we have seen. The colour illustrations include a compass rose 13.8 cm diameter with a ship in the centre directly copied from the folding engraved plate in De Vries and virtually the same size but the ship in the centre is copied in mirror image and De Vries's abstract floral decorations in the corners outside the circle are replaced by colour drawings of four different flowers one in each corner. The manuscript also directly copies De Vries's woodcut illustration of a human hand marked with the numbers "29" "9" and "19" on the thumb and the letters A B and C next to them presented as an aid to calculating the epact the number of days past the new moon on 1 January but the hand is rotated 180 degrees. Most of the examples of calculations use years in the period 1700-1711 though there are a few later ones one example uses the year 1809! which also largely agrees with the 1702 edition of De Vries though the examples are not identical. The clearest indication that the present manuscript follows the 1702 edition rather than a later one is that the tables giving differences between the positions of the sun and moon cover the years 1701-1704 as in the first edition before the insertion of an extra quire extending the tables to 1710 B8 was replaced at the same time not noted by Crone. All later editions we have seen give these tables and the examples of calculations for later years. Yet even in these tables the data in the present manuscript doesn't exactly agree with De Vries's. With a bookseller's ticket ca. 1901/1919. Very slightly browned with occasional minor spots or ink stains but still in good condition. The one leaf that appears to be lacking may have been deliberately cancelled by the compiler. The wrapper has a later cloth spine as noted and is somewhat worn. A fascinating manuscript course in navigation with volvelles and other figures in colour partly based on the very rare first 1702 edition of De Vries's handbook but not merely copying it.l For De Vries's 1702 handbook: Crone 374 collation not entirely correct. hardcover

Original calf spine & calf on rear cover perished shaken dampstaining & toning still fair reference copy from the library of Captain Thomas Hall II 1804-1829 son of Captain Thomas Hall 1778-1816 who was lost at sea while sailing from Charleston to Boston in Feb. 1829 which his brother Charles Hall 1810-1829 ownership markings on endpapers of both w/ manuscript note on verso of ffep. that this is “good for a pint of ale†facing clippings about new lighthouses ca. 1821 listing the Ten Pound Island stone tower light house first built on the site in 1821.

Eighth edition of this early vital tool for American sea captains and navigators first published in a much shorter version of only 122 pp. in 1796 and the first edition to bear only Edmund Blunt’s name as author. The original commissioned from Captain Lawrence Furlong proved so crude and unusable that Blunt arranged for it to be edited and rewritten. Blunt’s Coast Pilots were the earliest works of their type published in North America to cover the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. with sailing directions tide tables tables of latitudes and longitudes and as this copy shows were often working evolving documents with additional manuscript annotations and printed additions including in this case the Charleston Harbour map which is not included in the binding instructions and supposedly left out of the 8th edition.

[OMAN NAVIGATION LOGBOOK]. MCKINNELL, Thomas, assistant master.
Log of the proceedings. HMS "Cyclops". W. J. S. Pullen Esq. Captain. Commencing Monday 7th February 1859 ending Wednesday 22nd of May 1861. Kept by Thos. McKinnell Mast. Asst.HMS Cyclops: Oman Khuriya Muriya Islands Yemen Egypt Red Sea Arabian Sea Pakistan Sri Lanka and other places 1857-1861. Folio 20 x 31.5 cm. Over 360 pp. of manuscript entries written with brown ink in a legible hand on watermarked laid paper with a blue cast. With 8 pen and ink nautical charts and 5 sketches of coastal sites including the city of Muscat 8 on the logbook pages and 5 on separate thick album leaves. Contemporary brown cloth over boards rebacked in period-style black calf with the spine lettered in gold: "Log H.M.S. Cyclops".
ca. 360 32 blank pp.Historically significant manuscript logbook containing a detailed record of the first attempt to lay a submarine telegraph cable to connect London with British India. The expedition took place from May 1859 the Red Sea leg from Suez to Aden to February 1860 from Aden to the Khuriya-Muriya Islands Muscat and Karachi. The two specially designed cable ships the “Imperador” and “Imperatrix” were supported by HMS “Cyclops” which surveyed the coastlines and reported on the depth and structure of the ocean floor.The entries from February 1859 to May 1860 documenting the ship's Red Sea and Arabian Sea mission span over 200 pages. We first find the “Cyclops” near Cape Ras al Hadd on the eastern coast of Oman at the entrance to the Gulf of Oman: "Cape Ras al Hadd . terminates in a low sandy spit at the head of which is a village and mud fort. There is an inlet about 4 miles to the northward of the cape but inaccessible to large vessels. There is a heavy surf on the beach during northerly winds" 9 February 1859. The ship then plied in the Red and Arabian Seas between Egypt Yemen and Oman eventually finishing in Bombay.During its expedition the “Cyclops” visited and moored in Quseer and Zabardag Island Egypt Suakin Sudan Perim Island Strait Bab-el-Mandeb Yemen the Hanish Islands Yemen Palinurus Shoal and Cape Fartak Yemen al-Hallaniyah and al-Qibliyah Khuriya Muriya Islands Oman Ras Madrakah and Ras al Hadd Oman Charna Island and Karachi Pakistan. The logbook entries record the soundings and the laying of cable along with quotidian ship activity. Brief entries touch on the death of crew members; discharging coal; punishing men for wrongdoing; maintenance of the ship; other ships in company; visits on board by local notables etc. Six larger entries occupying up to two pages of text describe the topography landmarks soundings and economy of Karachi Zabargad Island and Muscat Cove this last harbour said to be "formed by Muscat Island on the east and Ras Muscat on the West it is one mile deep by half a mile wide with 12 fathoms at entrance decreasing to 3 fathoms ahead of the town. It is defended by two . batteries on the island one on the height to the seat of town and two on Ras Muscat. They are all in a stay ! - or: state of decay. The entrance to the cove is difficult to make out when coming from the eastward . The exports of Muscat are wheat dried fish dates and cattle the imports being European and Indian manufactured goods sugar etc. The revenue is about £100000. The Imaum's Palace faces the water his army generally consists of from 10 to 12000 men and the fleet of 2 frigates 2 corvettes a transport and brig the greater part of the Navy having been removed to Zanzibar the Captains of these vessels being educated at Bombay or Calcutta. Supplies of all kind are cheap and plentiful. Boats may be hired thro' the medium of the Agent of the Indian Government for the shipment of coals" 26 November 1859.Illustrated with eight well-executed pen and ink nautical charts showing the routes of the “Cyclops” in the Red and Arabian Seas as well as the harbours of Muscat Cove and other places. Five beautiful ink sketches show the city of Muscat "Hallani Bluff from Addington Cove" al-Hallaniyah the largest of the Khuriya Muriya Islands Oman Ras Fartak Yemen Karachi harbour and Colombo.The cable too lightly armoured and laid with too little slack soon failed: indeed the 1859 section had already broken down by the time the route was completed in 1860. Messages were passed over individual sections but the entire cable never worked as a unit. Communication to India would not be established until the 1864 Persian Gulf cable was laid. The captain of the “Cyclops” the noted British navigator and Arctic explorer William Pullen 1813-87 took part in the unsuccessful 1849 attempt to rescue Sir John Franklin's disastrous expedition in search of a northwest passage then in the same year became the first European to sail along the north coast of Alaska in his voyage from the Bering Strait to the Mackenzie River in Canada.A final part of the log comprising some additional 150 pp. May 1860-May 1861 covers the Cyclops's survey of the southeast coast of Ceylon and her return voyage to England. Overall an important content-rich source on the early history of the submarine telegraph cable around the Arabian Peninsula to British India.In good condition. unknown

[OREGON RAILROAD & NAVIGATION COMPANY]
BREAKFAST CARD FOR THE OREGON RAILROAD & NAVIGATION COMPANY
N.P.: Privately printed n.d. ca 1903. 1903. First edition. 9 1/4" x 6 1/8" breakfast card with photograph of a steamer at the top and above the photograph states "On Board Steamer C." Name illegible; however probably the Columbia as the only steamship operated by the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company that began with the letter "C" was the Columbia. Company flag in red in upper left corner. Commander was Peter A. Doran. On July 20 1907 Columbia departed San Francisco on a routine voyage to Portland via Astoria under the command of Captain Peter A. Doran and filled with 251 passengers. That night she was enveloped in thick fog near Shelter Cove California. Despite the fog Columbia was pushed to full steam meeting strict orders to stay on schedule. She exchanged fog whistles with an unseen steamship until 12:22 A.M. when the now visible lumber schooner San Pedro pierced the side of Columbia's hull. Over the next eight and a half minutes pandemonium erupted aboard Columbia's decks as the great liner continued heading down by her bow and capsizing on her starboard side. In a final salute Captain Doran tied Columbia's whistle cord down letting the whistle blow until the bridge had finally been pulled below the waterline. By morning the news had reached land; Columbia had floundered in less than ten minutes taking 88 people with her. Today the wreck of Columbia lies undiscovered 1000 feet below the surface near Shelter Cove California. Menu offers oat meal boiled rice tenderloin steak and potatoes grilled mutton chops broiled kidney on toast fried ham corned beef hash boiled potatoes chocolate etc. Horizontal crease light soiling and with light wear to the extremities. Very good. Rare. Privately printed, n.d. [ca 1903]. unknown
