About This Item
Tight and unmarked-" Upon its mid-19th-century publication, this book became the Bible of U.S. sailors. Its no-nonsense prose gives specific instructions for knotting and rigging, blacking the guns, and stationing the crew to dealing with the direst emergencies. Enhanced with 70 rare engravings, a glossary of sea terms, and 100 pages of useful tables.- This is the 1888 edition of the original 1847 edition. Some accommodation had been made for the advent of early steam-powered ships but it was still the primary manual for sailors, dealing with everything involved in maintaining and sail the tall ships." Minor wear on cover.
