KATIP ÇELEBI [HACI KHALFA], (1609-1657).
[ACCOUNT OF THE OTTOMAN-VENETIAN NAVAL WAR] Tuhfetu'l-kibâr fî esfâri'l-bihâr. [i.e. The gift to the great ones on naval campaigns].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Full leather new bdg. Original illustrated cover saved inside. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). [12], 166, [2] p., b/w and color plates of Ottoman warships and scenes from naval wars, seven maps of the earliest examples of Ottoman cartography. Very rare second edition of this book on the history of Ottoman naval wars against Venetians began with the Crete campaign (War of Candia) in 1645 and lasted for years until 1656. The book was published first in 1729 in Müteferrika Printing House which was the first printing house in the Islamic world as the third printed book. This is the second edition including five maps of almost the same size (two paged) titled world map, The Mediterranean, The Archipelago (Aegean), The Adriatic Sea, and the compass-like in its first edition as well as two maps and twenty-six plates (some of them are color) and small illustrations of Ottoman ships as head of some carriage returns. Additional maps depict the city of Venice (from Kitab-i Bahriye [i.e. Book of Navigation) and the travels of Ottoman Admiral Sidi Ali Reis through the Sea of Oman. The Cretan War or the Fifth Ottoman-Venetian War, was a conflict between the Republic of Venice and her allies (chief among them the Knights of Malta, the Papal States, and France) against the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary States because it was largely fought over the island of Crete, Venice's largest and richest overseas possession. This account of Ottoman maritime warfare in Turkish, written in Safer 1067/November 1656. This date places the book in a moment of utmost danger for the Ottoman capital following the defeat of the Ottoman navy at the hands of the Venetians at the Dardanelles (4 Ramadan 1066/26 June 1656) and the subsequent loss of the islands of Lemnos and Tenedos. It is also written shortly after the appointment of Köprülü Mehmed Pasha as grand vizier (25 Dhulqada 1066/14 September 1656). Thus it is suggested to read it as a program of reform of the navy intended for a person whom Hadji Khalfa might have seen as the "man of the sword" who might revert the fate of the Empire. Of the four ulemâ [i.e. scholars] who wrote endorsements for the book, two are closely related to the Köprülü family. The first part is a history of Ottoman maritime campaigns from the beginning to 1067/1656, while the second is a systematic description of naval affairs, from administration and offices to shipbuilding, culminating in a list of 40 suggestions for the organization and strategy of the Ottoman navy, including the use of recent scientific and technological innovations. Thus the juxtaposition with history provides an argument for reform. Suggestions are largely centered around the traditional qanun-i qadim; there is no reference to high-board ships. The final pages include an important discussion of historical causality, explaining how divine omnipotence creates the consequence of historical causes, in reward for the righteous rule, or punishment of injustice.

Osmanli deniz haritalari ve Ali Macar Reis atlasi.
New New Turkish Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (33 x 23 cm). Edition in Turkish. 159, [1] p., color ills. Turkish Edition of the Ottoman nautical charts and the Atlas of Ali Macar Reis. 16th century Ottoman nautical charts figure significantly in the history of cartography. Dating from the time when the Ottoman Empire was approaching its zenith of wealth and power, these charts are a valuable source of information about the history of the period. The work of the Ottoman privateers who then held sway over most of the Mediterranean, these charts cover a geographical area far beyond the bounds of the Ottoman Empire. as rulers of an expanding empire, the Ottoman sultans took a close interest in mapmaking and may well have commissioned their sea captains to draw the charts. When Piri Reis presented his first world map to Sultan Selim I, conqueror of Egypt, in 1517, the sultan is said to have declared, "How small is the world for a conqueror.".

KING Rufus
The Speech of Rufus King Esq. in the Senate on the Navigation Laws of the United States Which Is at This Time Deserving of the Serious Attention of the British Legislature
London: Thomas Davison 1819. Paperback. Small 4to. Wrappers. 24pp. Very good. Minor edgewear and slight soiling to outer wrappers only. First British edition of the influential New York senator's 1818 speech recommending a tightening of U.S. maritime shipping regulations regarding Great Britain -- prefaced of course by a British introduction explaining how King's measures "will extensively injure the revenue trade and navigation of this country" and that Brits should "receive the proposals of the United States with distrust." This copy bears the scarce ownership signature at the top of the front wrapper of ROBERT G. HARPER 1765-1825 the noted politician who served as major general in the War of 1812 U.S. representative and senator and original member of the American Colonization Society; the famed statement "Millions for defense but not a cent for tribute" was a toast made by Harper in 1798 after the XYZ Affair. An interesting association copy of this scarce pamphlet. SABIN 37834. Thomas Davison paperback

In January 1969aboard his home-built wooden boat SuhailiRobin Knox-Johnston became the first person ever to sail solonon-stop around the world.Twenty-five years laterSir Robin again completed a record-breaking circumnavigationco-skippering Enza with Kiwi yachting legend Sir Peter Blake.His place in sailing's pantheon of greats was assured. Thenafter the tragic death of his wife SueSir Robin decided he would try gain.In October 2006at the age of sixty-seven - when most people are settling into a well-earned retirement - Sir Robin embarked on another gruelling single-handed race around the world.Compared to his rivalshe lacked recent experience and a large shore-based support team. There were many who believed that this time he might have bitten off more than he could chew. Thenearly onit looked like their worst fears might be realized.Within days of setting offnear-hurricane-strengthstorms in the Bay of Biscay capsized his 60-foot yacht SagaInsurance. But it wasn't just Sir Robin who suffered.Three-quarters of the entire fleet had to run for shelter.When they re-emergedall faced months of hardship and intensity ahead. 'Force of Nature' is Sir Robin's first-hand account of hisextraordinary return to the ultra-competitivepunishing world of single-handed offshore racing.It turned out to be a very different journey from the one he undertook aboard Suhailiyet that experience remains a touchstone throughoutthis story. It's a story of courage ingenuity and resilience played out against the world's oceans.But most of all it's a powerful reminder that age is nothing but a number; no barrier to realizing one's dreams.
