1920Very 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.

These nautical works - pilot guides and charts - were published by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office which provides the necessary hydrographic and marine geospatial data to all kinds of maritime organisations across the world. 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. The binding shows minor signs of wear around the spine and corners of the boards the gutter after page II is somewhat weakened the head edge of the wrappers of the supplement are very slightly browned. Otherwise in very good condition. hardcover
