Good Turkish Original monthly newspapers. Atlas folio. (48 x 30 cm). In Turkish. 4 p. for each issue. Ills. First periodical on Turkish sailing. In 1952, the first sailing specialty "Istanbul Sailing Club" was founded. This event led to the establishment of Kalamis Sailing Club, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Karsiyaka Sports Clubs sailing branches and Izmir Sea Force Club (nearly 30 specialized clubs) (between the years of 1952-1972). In 1952, for the first time, a Turkish sailor, Sadun Boro, sailed around the world with a British sailor. For the second time in 1965, he went on a world tour with his boat "Kismet", which was completely local property with his wife and himself, and in June 1968 he successfully returned to Istanbul. In Turkey of 1950s, sailing and yacht clubs needed to publish a periodical on Turkish sailing in Izmir. This newspaper would have news about Turkish yacht racings, new techniques of sailing, foreign sailing, sailors and racings etc. Not known when it ended to its publishing life. Minor soiling, tears and chipped on paper. Stains and weak margins. Extremely rare.
Two Volumes + 120 Full-page and Numerous Text Illustrations; 16 Colored Plates from Dr. Nansen's Own Sketches; Etched Portrait; and Photogravures. Large 8vo. Original full dark blue cloth binding, spine gold lettered. Slight spotting to binding, but still a very nice set. In 1893, with a crew of 12 men and five years' supplies, Nansen left the shores of Norway and sailed through the Northeast Passage to the New Siberian Islands, where he allowed the Fram to become frozen into the ice. The ice floe drifted westward, carrying the ship with it, but it never came as close to the North Pole as Nansen had hoped. In March 1895 he therefore left the Fram together with Hjalmar Johansen and tried to reach the pole on skis. After many vicissitudes they arrived at 86o 14'N, further north than any explorer before them, but here they were forced to turn back. After a dramatic journey home again, they reached Norway on 13 August 1896, the same day that the ice loosened its grip on the Fram north of Svalbard. Thus Nansen was able to vindicate his theory of a westward current, and the success of the expedition made the names of Nansen and the ship Fram known throughout the world. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
