190514919London: J.D. Potter 1905. First Edition. Cloth. Near fine. Inscribed to the captain of the S.S. Leviathan the first edition of Percy Davis' Requisite Tables for Seamen published in London in 1905. Octavo vi 178pp. Blue cloth rigid hardcover title stamped in white on front cover. Includes hundreds of logarithmic tables. Inscribed by the author: "Capt. Moore / SS Leviathan / with the author's compliments / 1931 / Percy L. Davis / Please compare Haversines within with Table 45 - Where did they get it" The SS Leviathan originally built as the SS Vaterland was a prominent ocean liner in the early 20th century. Launched in 1913 by the Hamburg America Line the Vaterland was the largest passenger ship in the world at the time of her completion. She began her maiden voyage in 1914 but her career as a German liner was short-lived due to the outbreak of World War I. Seized by the United States in 1917 she was renamed the SS Leviathan and served as a troopship during the war. After the war the Leviathan was refitted for passenger service and became a flagship for the United States Lines symbolizing American maritime prowess. She served the transatlantic route offering luxurious accommodations and epitomizing the grandeur of ocean travel in the Roaring Twenties. The SS Leviathan remained in service until 1934 marking an era of significant transitions in maritime history and technological advancements in shipbuilding. The recipient of this copy Captain Alfred M. Moore 1887-1967 served in both World Wars as a captain on several U.S. ships. He died in 1967 in Ellsworth Maine. J.D. Potter unknown

193815131938. Typed Letter Signed to Lewis E. Gensler from S.S. Van Dine with Western Union Wire from Van Dine to Gensler--1938<br /> <br /> Letter measures 10.5 x 7.25 inches; wire measures 6.5 x 8 inches. Letter is toned with previous folds--very good condition. Wire has chipping and wear to edges and is very toned--good condition. Verso blank on both.<br /> <br /> Enigmatic letter and telegram between two famed personalities of Hollywood S.S. Van Dine Willard Huntington Wright and Lewis Gensler. Willard Wright was an American art critic and social gadfly within entertainment circles but ultimately achieved financial success writing pot-boiler detective novels starring Philo Vance under the pseudonym of S.S. Van Dine. <br /> <br /> Lewis Gensler's work spanned both coasts as a composer songwriter author and producer. He often incorporated his songs into films he produced. His movie "College Swing" starring George Burns Gracie Allen Martha Raye and Bob Hope is referenced in Van Dine's letter. Gensler primarily was associated with Paramount Pictures.<br /> <br /> Van Dine humorously writes in the undated letter "We ironed out a few details straightened a couple of incipient kinks and beat the shell game by lifting the hat hiding what seemed to be the most promising idea." Van Dine had just had a lunch date with a "Mr. Holman" who likely worked with Lewis Gensler. <br /> <br /> The telegram dated Feb. 24 1938 sent the day before Van Dine was to meet Holman states "Outline going first rate and licking nicely with a double snapper. With no more Jack Louis fights scheduled hereabouts and all the local racetracks closed you should have a first draft in a week or ten days." <br /> <br /> In the early 1930's Van Dine wrote screen treatments for Warner Brothers including 12 two-reel "murder mystery" short films. <br /> <br /> Piecing the dates together we surmise Van Dine was writing the screenplay for the "Gracie Allen Murder Case" his last novel. The novel published in 1938 was released as a movie produced by Paramount Pictures shortly after Van Dine would pass away in April 1939. unknown
