Silhouette Reverse Portrait on Glass of British captain Henry Whitby

LD16849Very Good. Portrait of British captain Henry Whitby whose ship fired a shot which infamously killed an American seaman in 1806. Silhouette reverse portrait on glass 3 3/4 x 3 1/4 inches to sight captioned "Cpt. Henry Whitby R.N." in image; not examined outside of frame. Np early 19th century. In the years leading up to the War of 1812 the British Navy made a practice of checking American merchant ships to ascertain whether embargoed French cargo was aboard. In April 1806 off New York the American merchant ship Richard refused to stop when commanded by Captain Henry Whitby's HMS Leander. A warning shot was fired in what proved to be American territorial waters. The shot was poorly aimed and splintered a railing; a shard killed an American sailor named John Pierce. This triggered an international incident with President Jefferson calling for Whitby's arrest. Whitby was cleared in a British court-martial which only increased tensions. We don't know when this portrait of Whitby was created but he was promoted to captain in 1801 and died in 1812. unknown books

The U-Boat War in the Atlantic 1939-1945 German Naval History

19892300962London: Her Majesty's Stationery Office 1989. Facsimile. Facsimile. Near Fine/No Jacket - Pictorial Cover. Minor wear to edges of diagram sleeve. 1989 Large Hardcover. xi 1 x 119 1 xii 126 x 151 3 pp. Includes book and sleeve of diagrams in publisher's slipcase. "After the end of the Second World war Fregattenkapitan Gunter Hessler a son-in-law of Donitz was given free access to the war diaries and other primary sources of the German Navy to write a history and analysis of the German U-boat offensive in the Atlantic. It covered many aspects such as general strategy signals intelligence tactics and weapons adopting a largely German viewpoint. It also investigated Allied countermeasures and the response of the U-boat Command. Written at the request of the Admiralty the three-volume work was classified material never available to the general public. This facsimile edition of the volumes with a fresh introduction by Lt Cdr Andrew Withers is a valuable addition to the published history of the war and contains information available nowhere else. Corrections and explanations have been added to the original text - incidents puzzling to Hessler can be better understood for example now that we have the full story of British intelligence work in deciphering German signals. For students of military naval or intelligence history The U-Boat War in the Atlantic is a unique account not least because the many charts and diagrams allow the record of each U-boat to be traced including its deployment on any particular day.
