[His WWII Chronicles and the basis of 'The Cruel Sea' complete]. Comprising 'HM Corvette' [with] 'East Coast Corvette' [with] 'Corvette Command' [with] 'HM Frigate'. COMPLETE WWII ['CRUEL SEA'] CHRONICLES IN FULL MOROCCO

4 vols., in 1, 8vo., First Editions, with frontispieces and plates; newly and handsomely bound in full navy blue crushed morocco, sides with double frame border in gilt, back gilt with five raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered in gilt, all other compartments ruled and tooled in gilt with an anchor device, all original pictorial wrappers (a little dust-soiled) preserved, a splendid copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. The definitive record of corvette service in WWII, the set comprises 'HM Corvette' (1942), 'East Coast Corvette' (1943), 'Corvette Command' (1944) and 'HM Frigate' (1946). The first three volumes were combined and issued in slightly abridged form as 'Three Corvettes' (1945). Taken together and in sequence the four volumes provide a near-continuous record of Monsarrat's own wartime service. Furthermore they contain much of the inspiration and context, and in several cases actual incidents which reappear in the author's masterpiece 'The Cruel Sea' (1951), arguably the finest novel of the Royal Navy in WWII. Monsarrat's seatime began in HMS Campanula [broadly the 'HMS Flower' of the first volume] on the North Atlantic convoys; at one time she was the only RN vessel operating out of St. Johns. She is perhaps best known for her service in convoy OG71 (Milford Haven-Gibraltar, August 1941) which suffered so badly at the hands of a U-boat pack that it was ordered to seek shelter in neutral Lisbon. Many of the merchantmen were lost (including the SS Aquila with 22 Wrens aboard) together with the escorts HMS Bath and HMS Zinnia. The full story is related by Lund and Ludlam in 'Nightmare Convoy' (1987). He then transferred to HMS Guillemot ['HMS Dipper' in the second volume] serving on the East Coast convoys. Among the actions portrayed are the torpedoing of HMS Vortigern by E-boat S-104, and the successful destruction of an HE-111 in August 1941. HMS Guillemot's captain, Lombard-Hobson' has said of Monsarrat 'he was reserved and unpopular, but I liked him myself'. Monsarrat then assumed command of HMS Shearwater ['HMS Winger' in the third volume] operating in the North Sea out of Harwich. Individual volumes are becoming increasingly elusive. Complete sets are seldom offered for sale, especially in this condition. Enser, p.120 (HM Corvette); Law 1008 (East Coast Corvette), 1007 (Corvette Command) and 1084 (HM Frigate). Astonishingly 'HM Corvette' is not recorded by Law.

1837256446Washington D.C. 1837. 1-1/2 pages pen and ink on paper. Folio. Old folds else fine. 1-1/2 pages pen and ink on paper. Folio. A chronicle of the short-lived Bank of the United States and its continued involvement in US Navy pensions. After the demise of the Second Bank of the United States in 1836 a result of the historical "Bank War" between US President Andrew Jackson and Bank President Nicholas Biddle Biddle attempted to resuscitate the institution as a commercial bank chartered by the State of Pennsylvania. The former bank's stock holders except the US government voted to transfer the old bank's assets and liabilities to the new bank which made it difficult to disentangle the dealings of the defunct bank with the newly state-chartered bank. This letter from Secretary of the Navy Mahlon Dickerson discusses arrangements for The Bank of the United States to fund Navy Pensions and is an example of it's continued involvement with the US Government after the Second Bank of the United States charter had expired.

"The battle was highly discreditable to the British fleet and not very honorable to their opponents but it is of the highest historical importance in the history of the navy. It marked the lowest pitch reached in discipline and fighting and efficiency by the fleet in the 18th century and it had a very bad effect in confirming the pedantic system of tactics set up by the old Fighting Instructions . " - Encyclopedia Britannica 11th ed. To the puzzlement of many Lestock who was second in command and who kept his distance from the battle was acquitted; while Mathews who engaged the enemy however confusedly was censured and discharged from the service.

Samuel Southard Secretary of NavyBiblio.com

Slavery and Abolition U.S. Navy Recaptured Africans Report 1828 Government Policy and Forced Repatriation

1828204671828. Southard Samuel L. Recaptured Africans: Letter from the Secretary of the Navy. 1828 documents U.S. government policy toward Africans seized from illegal slave ships following the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. Issued to the House of Representatives the report provides administrative and logistical detail on the handling of "recaptured" individuals including their detention transport and resettlement. The text includes correspondence from naval agent Jehudi Ashmun at Cape Mesurado Liberia and tabulated data on 142 individuals as of September 1827 recording their status after interception by U.S. naval forces. These records place the document within the broader framework of early nineteenth-century efforts to suppress the illegal slave trade while simultaneously managing the displacement of African captives through U.S.-administered systems tied to Liberia. Descriptions of detention sites in locations such as Key West and Charleston provide direct evidence of the conditions under which individuals were held prior to forced relocation. Southard Samuel L. Recaptured Africans: Letter From the Secretary of the Navy Transmitting the Information required by a resolution of the House of Representatives. Washington: Gales & Seaton March 12 1828. First edition government document House of Representatives 20th Congress 1st Session Document No. 193. Octavo pamphlet 15 pages in printed wrappers. Contents include a two-page letter from Southard followed by five letters from J. Ashmun written from Cape Mesurado with accompanying tables detailing names and conditions of recaptured Africans. Produced during a period when the United States sought to enforce the prohibition of the slave trade while participating in colonization efforts in West Africa this document aligns with the establishment of Liberia as a settlement for formerly enslaved and recaptured individuals. The administrative tone and statistical detail underscore the bureaucratic mechanisms through which human lives were cataloged and managed within federal policy. As a primary source it contributes to the study of slavery's afterlives maritime enforcement and the intersection of abolition colonization and displacement in the early republic. Minor foxing to wrappers; unbound but intact; text clean and legible; overall very good condition. unknown

Staple-bound. Cover has some wear and soiling. Rare surviving copy especially for such a specialized facility. This copy may be unique. This item includes an article on the early days experiences with radiation by Nobel Laureate Luis Alvarez! The Hunters Point Shipyard opened in 1867. In WWII Hunters Point into a vital repair base. The postwar years saw the creation of the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory NRDL who's first responsibility was the study and decontamination of ships used in the nuclear weapons tests at the Bikini Atoll. The NRDL also built a cyclotron atom-smasher at Hunters Point and conducted top-secret research on the effects of radioactive fallout on humans and animals. Because of incomplete documentation of the NRDL's research activities and the risk that there are other unknown contaminants from the day-to-day operation of a major shipyard no one really knows the extent of the toxic residue that may be buried on the base. The NRDL was shut down in 1969 and in 1974 the Navy decommissioned the entire base.
