1950Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued! Notes & Condition: Solely addressing the clamour surrounding Captain Cook's ship 'Resolution' as she was fitted for the South Seas voyage, this account features previously undisclosed and unpublished text from a passionate extempore letter written by Joseph Banks to the Earl of Sandwich May 30th 1772. Banks protests the design of the ship and urges the provision of a larger vessel. Followed by more diplomatic comments of the Navy Board, drawing from the Royal archives of the Windsor Castle, this brief report enlightens the scope of bitter feuding and controversies surrounding the voyage, potential shortcomings with the ship itself, and personal mandates which could have forever altered Captain Cook's paramount voyage. Excerpts from the text: [Joseph Banks]: "...I must be allowed to say that the ship will thus be if not absolutely incapable at least exceedingly unfit for the intended Voyage... the Shop where we are all to work if not sufficiently large will deprive the workmen of a possibility following their respective employments and prevent me from reaping the Fruit earned by voluntarily exposing myself to danger and incurring a material Expence." [The Navy Board]: "...Mr. Banks seems throughout to consider the Ships as fitted out wholly for his use; the whole undertaking to depend on him and his people..." End Excerpts. 8vo. 6 pages. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, very good and original condition.
