‎CAPTAIN COOK'S THIRD VOYAGE; WEBBER John 1752 1793 artist‎

‎A Man of the Sandwich Islands Dancing‎

‎London: G. Nicol & T. Cadell 1784. Etched and engraved by C. Grignion after a drawing by Webber. Image size: 10 1/4 x 7 inches. Sheet size: 22 x 15 1/2 inches. In this attractive portrait a young muscular man dances what was then a sacred dance called Hula. In his right hand he holds a feather covered gourd. Virtually nude he wears only a bark cloth "malo" or loin cloth a coral necklace and dogtooth leggings. His body is tattooed in rhythmic patterns that flow down his arms and legs.<br/> <br/>"Cook's third voyage was organized to seek the Northwest Passage and to return the islander Omai to Tahiti. Officers of the crew included William Bligh James Burney James Colnett and George Vancouver. John Webber was appointed artist to the expedition. After calling at Kerguelen Island Tasmania New Zealand and the Cook Tonga and Society Islands the expedition sailed north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands which Cook named the Sandwich Islands. Cook charted the American west coast from Northern California through the Bering Strait as far north as latitude 70 degrees 44 minutes before he was stopped by pack ice. He returned to Hawaii for the winter and was killed in an unhappy skirmish with the natives. Charles Clarke took command and after he died six months later the ships returned to England under John Gore. Despite hostilities with the United States and France the scientific nature of this expedition caused the various governments to exempt these vessels from capture. The voyage resulted in what Cook judged his most valuable discovery - the Hawaiian Islands" Hill. John Webber R.A. born in London of Swiss parents was the official artist on Cook's historic and final Pacific voyage. The drawings were the source for the engravings that illustrated Cook's "A Voyage to the Pacific" which was published in 1784. G. Nicol & T. Cadell unknown books‎

Blossom formed part of a double-pronged assault on the western approaches to the Arctic. Sent by way of Bering’s Strait to explore the northern coast eastward Beechey was to eventually link up with Franklin’s second expedition working westward from the Mackenzie River. The two parties came within several hundred miles of each other one of Beechey’s vessels managing to penetrate as far as Cape Barrow while Franklin turned back at Return Reef at about 149 degrees west. The narrative contains scientific data descriptions of Eskimo life and culture and much of importance relating to Alaska including the Aleutian Pribilov and other islands the Tuamotu Archipelago the Society Islands and Tahiti Hawaii and the coast of California. There are also valuable accounts of Monterey and San Francisco prior to the American conquest as well as a lengthy account of the mutiny of the Bounty as related by its sole survivor John Adams. "Beechey's expedition went to the Bering Strait "As a relief expedition to await the separate expeditions of Captains Franklin and Parry." Beechey heard at Kamchatka that Parry had turned back but he waited at Kotzebue Sound for Franklin through the Summers of 1827-8. "Near Point Barrow Alaska Beechey and Franklin had arrived within fifty leagues of each other when the latter was compelled by the weather to turn back." Also described are visits to Pitcairn Island Tahiti Alaska Hawaii Macao Okinawa and the coast of California. On Pitcairn Beechey met the last survivor of the Bounty mutiny John Adams. "He also gives an important account of Monterey and San Francisco before the American conquest." Beechey rose to Rear-Admiral and between 1836-47 undertook a survey of the coast of Ireland. "From 1850 until his death he was superintendent of the marine department of the Board of Trade; he was consulted on all Arctic issues including the search for Sir John Franklin by the Arctic council In 1855 he was elected president of the Royal Geographical Society an office which he still held at his death on 29 November 1856 Beechey was an outstanding professional hydrographer who served in the last years of heroic endeavour and lived to publish the results of his scientific observations on tides" ODNB Arctic Bibliography 1227; Field 105; Hill 93; Howes B-309; Lada-Mocarski 95; Sabin 4347; Wickersham 6541.

‎Polar Mariner: Beyond the Limits in Antarctica‎

‎Whittles Publishing UK 2016. First Edition. Paperback. Good/No Dust Jacket. Inscribed by persons connected with book. 1st Edition: ASSOCIATION COPY 202 pages illustrated b/w photos. Ink annotations on prelims and first 30 pages by Ann Savours Shirley. Ann Shirley 1927-2022 was an Author and British Polar Historian and on the staff of The Scott Polar Research Institute for 12 years. Author and a BAS Captain Woodfield made 20 seasonal voyages to the Antarctic on three research ships between 1955 and 1974. Starting as a Junior Deck Officer he worked for The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey which in 1964 became the British Antarctic Survey. He played a paramount role in the gradual change from using under-powered and poorly-equipped ships to the professionally-managed and sophisticated vessels of his last command. The arts of exploration and survival during his early years in this majestic but unforgiving continent are described as attempts were made to establish research stations support science and survey in totally uncharted ice-filled waters amidst often ferocious weather. Dramatic stories are featured such as the near loss of a ship in pack ice the stranding of another in hurricane force winds and the collapse of an ice-cliff onto the vessel The pioneers of Antarctic exploration the area's history the hardships and incredible achievements of those original seafarers are described. Yet polar navigation during the author's years was not without peril and the near loss in ice of his first ship the RRS Shackleton the demise of her Master and his ill-judged replacement and consequent dramas are fully told. After a voyage of enormous responsibility aged just 25 he transferred to the RRS John Biscoe as Chief Officer under a fine seaman but difficult disciplinarian. The highs and lows of their relationship are told as are vivid descriptions of predicaments they overcame such as being blown ashore in hurricane force winds and beset and crushed in pack ice. The first ventures of the John Biscoe into the Weddell Sea are recounted with information on the nature and movement of ice its interrelationship with weather and the methods of navigation in ice before the age of satellites. Appointed to command the RRS Bransfield he recounts her extraordinary maiden voyage when it was feared she would split in two. The battle with a horrendous storm at the end of his last voyage is fully described together with his final sentimental return to the Falklands. A dramatic story of true endeavour and exploration in the footsteps of the early pioneers. Navigating Antarctic seas for 20 years supporting British scientific stations the author explored and surveyed the uncharted ice-filled waters in often ferocious weather. Quantity Available: 1.

Parry was given command of the Hecla and Griper for his first expedition of 1819 sailing up Baffin Bay and through Lancaster Sound and Barrow Strait to the south side of Melville Island encountering much less heavy ice than anticipated. The expedition over-wintered at Winter Harbour on the south side of Melville Island. Freeze-up delayed Parry until August of 1820 but he was still able to continue west to Dundas Peninsula and south to Banks Island before turning to head home to England. Parry's voyage was to be recognised as one of the most important in the history of Arctic exploration. He proved that Lancaster Sound opened a passage to the west he charted a vast area of the unknown Arctic and proved that it was possible to spend the winter north of the Arctic Circle without being in grave danger. He was also the first to reach 110 degrees west longitude which earned him and his crew a cash reward of £5000. AB 13145. The Journal based on Parry's reports appeared in 1821 after the rights had been bought by the publisher John Murray for the stunning amount of a 1000 guineas.
