198465663Lima Peru: Secretaría del Ministro de Marina 1984. 3a ed. numerada corr. y ampliada. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Slight bowing at rear board oversize book. Text in Spanish. 441 p. : ill. some col. ; 29 cm. This work also commemorated the Sesquicentenario de su natalicio 1834/1984. Section entitled Grau el Marino Eponimo del Pery pro Fernando Romero starts at page 29 and goes to page 68. From Wikipedia: Miguel María Grau Seminario was a renowned Peruvian naval officer and hero of the Naval Battle of Angamos during the War of the Pacific 1879-1884. He was known as the el Caballero de los Mares Spanish for "Gentleman of the Seas" for his chivalry and is esteemed by both Peruvians and Chileans. He is an iconic figure for the Peruvian Navy and one of the most famous merchant marine and naval military leaders of America. His mother Luisa Seminario y del Castillo motivated Grau to love the sea from his youth. He entered the Paita Nautical School. He first went to sea when he was nine years old going to Fortune Colombia aboard a merchant schooner. Grau later went on various merchant ships to ports in Oceania Asia America and Europe. In 1853 at the age of 19 he left the merchant marine and became an officer candidate of the Peruvian Navy where he developed an outstanding professional reputation. In 1854 he was Military officer of the steamer Rimac. His career was rapid and brilliant. In 1863 he was promoted a year later. In 1864 he was sent to Europe to oversee the construction of ships for the Peruvian fleet. Upon his return Chile and Peru joined together in a bi-national fleet against Spanish attempts to reclaim their American colonies. In 1868 he was recalled to the Navy and was named commander of the Huáscar with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. By June 1 1874 he became the commanding officer of the Peruvian Navy's fleet and later became a member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru as an elected congressman in 1876 representing Paita. the War of the Pacific against Chile began on 5 April 1879 Miguel Grau was aboard the Huáscar as its captain and the Commander of the Navy. Capitán Grau played an important role by interdicting Chilean lines of communication and supply damaging capturing or destroying several enemy vessels and bombarding port installations. Grau's Huáscar became famed for moving stealthily striking by surprise and then disappearing. These actions put off a Chilean invasion by sea for six months. At the Battle of Iquique after Huáscar sank the Chilean corvette Esmeralda by ramming her Grau ordered the rescue of the surviving crew from the waters. Grau also wrote condolences to the widow of his opponent Arturo Prat returning his sword and personal effects. At the port of Antofagasta after sneaking up on an enemy ship he courteously asked the crew to abandon ship before opening fire. These and other gestures earned him the nickname of el Caballero de los Mares "Gentleman of the Seas" from his Chilean opponents acknowledging an extraordinary sense of chivalry and his gentlemanly behavior combined with his highly-efficient and brave combat career. Almirante Grau was killed by an armor-piercing shell during the Naval Battle of Angamos on 8 October 1879. Huáscar was captured by the Chileans after incurring severe casualties in the close-range artillery duel. Although most of Grau's body was not recovered his remains were buried with military honours in Chile which were returned to Peru in 1958. For many years after his death his name was called in a ceremonial roll-call of the Peruvian Navy. His final resting place lies at the Escuela Militar Naval del Peru in El Callao in an underground mausoleum. He posthumously received the rank of Gran Almirante del Perú Grand Admiral of Peru in 1967 by order of the Peruvian Congress. A portrait of Almirante Grau is on display in the museum ship Huáscar. In the year 2000 Miguel Grau was recognized as the "Peruvian of the Millennium" by popular vote. Secretaría del Ministro de Marina hardcover

40313Large octavo 230 x 150 mm in the original Admiralty-style binding of straight-grain red morocco with elaborate gilt border incorporating stars wreaths and cornerpieces spine gilt in six compartments; inner dentelles; all edges gilt; original marbled endpapers; engraved title-page with date in manuscript 1st October 1794 although the list has additions to 1801; 200 pp. each with an identical engraved heading with manuscript entries in black and red ink below set out in tabular form within red-ruled lines; mostly written in one hand with occasional alterations or additions in a second; remarkably fresh throughout. A record of the ships in Nelson’s Royal Navy from 1794-1801 with a distinguished Royal provenance being a manuscript copy prepared for Ernst Augustus Duke of Cumberland and King of Hanover 1771-1851 fifth son of George III. The register classifies ships by rating; within each rating vessels are arranged alphabetically. The entries include dimensions date built draught complement of men armaments shipwright or origin e.g. ""Taken from the French""; ""Taken from the Dutch"" and occasionally fate e.g. ""Lost 1790""; ""Taken 1801"". The might of the Royal Navy in the early stages of the long wars with France is demonstrated statistically by the sheer number of vessels that are indicated as having been captured from the French. The presence or indeed absence of the following vessels in the register is of specific Australian interest: the First Fleet store ship Supply the third HMS Supply which was decommissioned in April 1792 is not listed but its namesake the fourth HMS Supply - originally the American mercantile ship New Brunswick purchased by the Admiralty in October 1793 then renamed and sent out to Botany Bay to replace her predecessor - is; the other First Fleet naval vessel HMS Sirius was wrecked in March 1790 and so does not appear in the register; HMS Gorgon the 44-gun fifth-rate ship which sailed to New South Wales as part of the Third Fleet is recorded. The most notable vessel with an Australian connection however is HMS Investigator listed under the rating 'Sloops rigged as Ships'. She was originally the mercantile Fram launched in 1795 which the Royal Navy purchased in 1798 and renamed HMS Xenophon before she was converted to a survey ship in 1801 under the name HMS Investigator. In 1802 under the command of Matthew Flinders she would become the first ship to circumnavigate the Australian continent. Interestingly an annotation in red ink in the entry for Investigator records that she was bought in 1798 as Swan - clearly a clerical error for Fram. unknown

AQ25343s.i.: s.n. s.d. 22 leaves. Stitched as issued. Old central vertical fold occasional spotting. Two small sketches of vessels to verso of penultimate leaf. An early nineteenth-century manuscript register of sailors serving aboard a frustratingly unidentified vessel including; boatswains forecastlemen foretopmen misentopmen the captains of the mast afterguard gunners carpenters and marines. There is mention of a Lieutenant Ormond this is potentially Francis Ormond made Lieutenant on 3rd December 1810 and appointed to the frigate Endymion in 1813 off the North coast of America. During the War of 1812 he commanded a division of boats under the orders of Captain Robert Barrie an expedition up the Penobscot river Maine to capture American territory culminating in the Battle of Hampden. He served under the same officer in the action which led to the capture of the American frigate President in January of 1815; and was second lieutenant of the Impregnable at the Battle of Algiers in 1816. The presence of Ormond's name in the manuscript under the heading of '2 division' would suggest that the list was compiled in conjunction with the actions at Maine in 1814. . [s.n.], [s.d.] unknown
