1928réf. 174745Likely Shanghai: 1928-34. Mariners are warned to exercise due caution when approaching and when in the waterways A collection of otherwise untraced notices to mariners compiled by a civilian captain who plied the lower Yangtse during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Yangtse shipping was regulated by the Maritime Customs Service which issued around 100 navigational advisories per year. During the late 1920s shipping traffic on the Yangtse rebounded after several years of decline during the Warlord Era. Low water however continued to pose problems for navigators and increased the need for effective river management. The 39 notices are technical directions concerning specific parts of the channel. They specify when vessels may and may not enter stretches of water warning of the persistent presence of Chinese craft not subject to the same notices offer guidance for navigating buoyed channels provide optimum bearings and relay a change to the position of the Bend and Gravener Island beacons due to the erosion of the channel. The majority date from 1929. The identify of the "Captain Smith" referenced on the front cover has proved elusive but he may be the individual pictured in photograph Sw13-045 G.

1857réf. ABC_46672HMS Cyclops:: Oman Khuriya Muriya Islands Yemen Egypt Red Sea Arabian Sea Pakistan Sri Lanka and other places 1857. Contemporary brown cloth over boards rebacked in period-style black calf with the spine lettered in gold: "Log H.M.S. Cyclops". 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. 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. Oman, Khuriya Muriya Islands, Yemen, Egypt, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and other places, hardcover
