NAVAL INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
Belgium. February 1944. [Publication Code] BR 521 (Restricted).
8vo., First Edition, with plates, numerous maps and diagrams (a number folding), and large folding coloured map in pocket at end; original brown cloth gilt, gilt back, a remarkably well-preserved bright, clean copy. Sold from an institution with its bookplate on front free endpaper. 'This book is for the Use of persons in HM Service only and must now be shown, or made available, to the Press or to any member of the Public'. The Geographical Handbook Series was produced during WWII to provide RN officers with a ready source of comprehensive and detailed information on countries in which they were called upon to serve. The several volumes, all now elusive, remain a valuable archive of geographical, cultural and statistical data. Very scarce, especially in this condition.

Achilles.
1946. Christchurch Whitcombe and Tombs c. 1946. Small 4to. Original illustrated wrappers; pp. 63; illustrated after photographs; wrappers a little frayed otherwise good.First edition very rare. 'A Leander-class light cruiser HMS later HMNZS Achilles displaced 7270 tons measured 555 ft 169 m in length and was capable of 32 knots. It was armed with eight 6-inch 152 mm guns in four turrets four 4-inch 102 mm secondary guns and eight 21-inch 533 mm torpedo tubes and also carried a seaplane. Following its role in the Battle of the River Plate Achilles underwent repairs in Auckland before escorting troop convoys and operating against Japanese forces in the southwest Pacific. During operations with US Navy forces off Guadalcanal on 5 January 1943 the ship was damaged by a Japanese air attack that killed 13 crewmen. While undergoing repairs in Portsmouth in June that year an accidental explosion killed several dock workers and caused further damage. In 1945 Achilles joined the British fleet in the Pacific. The ship reverted to Royal Navy control in 1946 and two years later was transferred to the Royal Indian Navy becoming INS Delhi. It was finally scrapped in 1976' New Zealand History online.In the preface the un-named author explains that 'it was decided to produce some form of written evidence of our travels and experiences . What follows then is in the main the story of our commission told in an unsophisiticated manner by the ships officers and men' p. 9.We were not able to locate a single copy in COPAC. unknown

Sea Cat Sailor's Newspaper from Aboard Naval Ship 1945
Sea Cat News. December 1945. Volume III No 7. Newspaper believed to be composed by sailors aboard the USS Sea Cat a Baleo-class submarine that earned 3 stars for operations during World War II. Measures 8 x 13 inches. 6 typewritten pages stapled. Drawing of cat wearing Navy ship with the words "Land ahead!" beneath. Typed stories relating to news from Washington football scores between the Army and Navy commentary on the war trials beginning in Nuremberg and stories from visits to shore. "Yesterday we listened to the Army-Navy game. Let us remember that one of the chief ingredients going into the building of either national or individual greatness is the ability to take either Victory or defeat in the proper spirit. The Nation that plays well also fights well" reads one editorial. Includes several comics one called the "Dreamboat Barnacle" in which a sailor tells his doctor that dreams of a beautiful woman are making him ill. The tone of the paper is light and humorous marked by a kind of cavalier cheer befitting men kept in tight quarters under stress recently relieved by war's end and the promise of homecoming. Creased down the middle where folded. Wrinkled at edges does not affect text. A charming look at life aboard a Navy ship at the end of World War II. Overall very good condition. unknown

Silhouette Reverse Portrait on Glass of British captain Henry Whitby
Very Good. Portrait of British captain Henry Whitby whose ship fired a shot which infamously killed an American seaman in 1806. Silhouette reverse portrait on glass 3 3/4 x 3 1/4 inches to sight captioned "Cpt. Henry Whitby R.N." in image; not examined outside of frame. Np early 19th century. <br/><br/>In the years leading up to the War of 1812 the British Navy made a practice of checking American merchant ships to ascertain whether embargoed French cargo was aboard. In April 1806 off New York the American merchant ship Richard refused to stop when commanded by Captain Henry Whitby's HMS Leander. A warning shot was fired in what proved to be American territorial waters. The shot was poorly aimed and splintered a railing; a shard killed an American sailor named John Pierce. This triggered an international incident with President Jefferson calling for Whitby's arrest. Whitby was cleared in a British court-martial which only increased tensions. We don't know when this portrait of Whitby was created but he was promoted to captain in 1801 and died in 1812. unknown books
