TACITUS, THULE AND CALEDONIA The Achievements of Agricola's Navy in Their True Perspective

British Archaeological Reports (B. A. R. ) British Series 459; 118 pages; The purpose of this book is to put the achievements of Agricolas navy, apparently understated by Tacitus, in their true perspective, with the proposition that the Roman fleet reached the furthest limit of the known world, Thule, or Mainland, Shetland, where it located a convenient anchorage, possibly in Lerwick harbour. To support this theory, firstly the identification of Thule as Shetland during the classical period from the time of Pytheas onwards is investigated through collation of geographical sources, secondly the earliest manuscript of Tacitus Agricola comes under closer scrutiny at the relevant points than ever before, and finally contemporary literature is reassessed to determine the significance of Caledonia and Thule in the Flavian propaganda machine and to suggest the first Roman presence in the Shetland Islands.

LE NAVI DEGLI ASBURGO QUANDO L'AUSTRIA ERA UNA POTENZA NAVALE WLADIMIR AICHELBUR

Il libro racconta la storia dei più importanti piroscafi - da guerra, mercantili e passeggeri - costruiti nei cantieri austriaci dell'Alto Adriatico (Trieste, Pola e Venezia), attraverso un'attenta ricostruzione storica e tecnica e con il supporto di splendide fotografie d'epoca, provenienti da importanti archivi di Vienna. Fu l'arciduca Massimiliano, fratello di Francesco Giuseppe, insieme all'ammiraglio Tegetthof, a creare la potente e presto gloriosa Kriegmarine, proprio nei territori austriaci sull'Adriatico, importante sbocco sul Mediterraneo. In poco tempo l'Impero asburgico divenne una potenza navale. CONDIZIONI: Ottime. PESO / WEIGHT: 1321 gr. without package

MASSIMILIANO D'ASBURGO E LA MARINA AUSTRIACA WLADIMIR AICHELBURG 1989 FOTOGRAFIA

DESCRIZIONE: B&M Fachin, Trieste, 1989. In 4°, leg. tela bianca e tit. rosso al dorso e al piatto con sovracc. ill. a col., pp. 205 con centinaia di foto e ill. b/n n.t., 1^ ediz. Tutta la vita di Massimiliano d'Asburgo è scandita dalla passione per il mare, per vivere a contatto con esso, in sintonia con la natura. E, come per il vero marinaio, anche per l'arciduca i mari sono la sua stessa patria, la nave è una parte di essa, i viaggi rappresentano una continua esplorazione alla ricerca del conoscere. Ma il navigare è inteso da Massimiliano anche come sinonimo di esperienza teorica e di apprendimento pratico; tanto da voler imparare i primi rudimenti proprio da semplice ufficiale. Tutto ciò viene raccontato attraverso un ricchissimo corredo fotografico d'epoca, frutto di accurate ricerche, in questo libro-album che si propone quale interessante testimonianza della vita marinara lungo le coste venete, triestine, istriane e dalmate nel XIX secolo. Indice completo in foto. CONDIZIONI: Ottime. Copertina leggermente ingiallita al bordo superiore. Perfetto all'interno. PESO / WEIGHT: 1470 gr. without package

The Maritime Industry: Federal Regulation in Establishing Labor and Safety Standards

386 pages. Bibliography. "Written as the result of several years' extensive and intensive study of the role of the Federal Government in establishing labor and safety standards in the maritime industry. The matters dealt with extend over a period of about 150 years... The present war, with its extraordinary need for an efficient merchant marine, and the recent transfer of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation from the Department of Commerce to the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard... clearly demonstrates the importance of Federal control over labor and safety standards in the merchant marine during the national emergency. Chapters include: Seamen's Need for Protection; Recruitment of Personnel, and Training Facilities for Seamen; Collective Bargaining and Seamen's Organization; Seamen's Right to Strike, and Settling Labor Disputes; Regulation of Seamen's Working and Living Conditions at Sea; Regulation for Seamen's Working and Living Conditions in Port; Safety of Life and Property at Sea; Inspection and Enforcement of Legal Standards; Past Achievements and Future Problems; Specific Conclusions; Appendices of statistics such as development of the American Merchant Marine as to Tonnage and Foreign Trade from 1789 to 1940, Nationality of Seamen, Strikes in Water Transportation, Average Seaman Wages, Casualties of the American Merchant Marine, and more. Top corner of front free endpaper neatly clipped. Prior owner's details neatly in pencil upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Notary Public's blind stamp atop half-title page. Average wear.
