18881091London: W. P. Griffith and Sons Ltd. 1888. Printed broadside 34.4 x 20.5cm. Minor contemporary manuscript correction to one of the printed height/chest measurements. There are three neat horizontal filing folds and a minor nick to each end of one of the folds otherwise condition is very good. An uncommon late nineteenth-century naval recruitment broadside boldly titled: "Wanted for the Royal Navy Stout Healthy Boys of Good Character from 15 to 16 1/2 Years of Age". The broadside begins by setting out the various requirements for new recruits such as height and chest measurements as well as the stipulation that they "must be able to read and write must have the written consent of their Parents or Guardians and must sign an engagement to serve for 12 years from the date of attaining the age of 18". It then moves on to outline scales of pay allowances pensions periods of leave and other arrangements for example "boys after 6 months' service can send money home to their parents or guardians at the following rates". At the foot is a list of ships including the names of their captains and ports currently seeking recruits as well as the locations of recruitment offices. </p><p>A rather fun piece of naval ephemera which would have surely appealed to many Victorian youths' sense of adventure.

189677014Washington DC: U.S. Department of the Navy Bureau of Navigation Hydrographic Office 1896. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Map. Good. This was published at the Hydrographic Office in Washington D.C. in February 1896. No. 1530. Charles D. Sigabee Commander U.S. N. Hydrographer. Format is approximately 26 inches by 17 inches folded. This map is disbound from Volume I of the Commercial Directory of the American Republics compiled by the Bureau of American Republics International Union of American Republics Joseph P. Smith Director 1897 Title page from Directory is present. Taped to top right of map in margin is the statement "This chart is intended solely to show tracks of steam vessels on the ocean and no authority is assumed for the boundary lines as drawn between the countries." Map has some color differentiation and several inserts presenting distance information between major ports of call. Map has been folded with approximately the top third folded down. It is also folded into four sections of different lengths to fit as the frontis to the Directory. Map has some wear and soiling/staining. This is similar to the large-scale and detailed World chart on Mercator's projection produced by the British Admiralty under the "Superintendence of Captain Wharton R.N. F.R.S Hydrographer" engraved by Edward Weller and sold by J. D. Potter chart agent. The map has no internal landmass detail unless relevant to steam ship routes thus the Suez and Panama canals are marked as is the Canadian Pacific Railway. Panels along the lower edge list major ports and give distances dependent on routes taken and average knots-per-hour speeds with daily distances covered in miles. The world's major ports are linked by ship-routes each track with its relevant distance and so on. An interesting chart at the time steam took over from sail. Charles Dwight Sigsbee 1845 - 1923 was a Rear Admiral in the United States Navy. In his earlier career he was a pioneering oceanographer and hydrographer. He is best remembered as the captain of the USS Maine which exploded in Havana harbor Cuba in 1898. U.S. Department of the Navy, Bureau of Navigation, Hydrographic Office unknown
