1900176895Shanghai: Brewer & Co. c.1900. From the Chefoo Bluff to Lamtong Head Sole edition untraced institutionally the copy of Vice-Admiral Seymour's chief of staff in Tianjin during the Boxer Uprising. This photographic guide is designed for "the navigator of this changeable and frequently foggy locality" preface. We have traced only one other copy which appeared in commerce in 2017. Navigators in the late Qing period could rely on only a small network of lighthouses and fixed navigational aids when sailing the Chinese coast. "In thick weather even a person familiar with the coast is at a loss to identify a well-known Islands with its summit" preface. The thirty views include the Chefoo Bluff in the Pechili Gulf the waters near the Hieshans Light House Zhejiang and Hong Kong's Lamtong Head. A concerted period of lighthouse-building in the 1910s and 1920s obviated the need for further publications of this kind. Provenance: though unmarked as such this copy was owned by Captain Edward Henry Bayly C.B. 1849-1904 Commander of the International Forces at Tianjin in June 1900. Bayly had a lifelong career in the Royal Navy. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in September 1873 commander in June 1887 and captain in January 1894 having served overseas in numerous ships. Bayly captained HMS Pelorus during the fleet review for Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897 and in 1899 became captain of the armoured cruiser HMS Aurora on the China station. During the Boxer Uprising he replaced the wounded John Jellicoe as chief of staff to Seymour was mentioned by Seymour in dispatches and remained at Tianjin until the withdrawal of naval forces. He retired at his own request in February 1904. Landscape octavo. With 30 mounted collotypes within red frames. Original red cloth front cover lettered in gilt white coated endpapers leaves hinged with white linen as issued. A little shaken binding sunned and stained contents well preserved a little toning at fore edges: a very good copy. hardcover
1928174745Likely Shanghai: 1928-34. Mariners are warned to exercise due caution when approaching and when in the waterways A collection of otherwise untraced notices to mariners compiled by a civilian captain who plied the lower Yangtse during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Yangtse shipping was regulated by the Maritime Customs Service which issued around 100 navigational advisories per year. During the late 1920s shipping traffic on the Yangtse rebounded after several years of decline during the Warlord Era. Low water however continued to pose problems for navigators and increased the need for effective river management. The 39 notices are technical directions concerning specific parts of the channel. They specify when vessels may and may not enter stretches of water warning of the persistent presence of Chinese craft not subject to the same notices offer guidance for navigating buoyed channels provide optimum bearings and relay a change to the position of the Bend and Gravener Island beacons due to the erosion of the channel. The majority date from 1929. The identify of the "Captain Smith" referenced on the front cover has proved elusive but he may be the individual pictured in photograph Sw13-045 G. Warren Swire collection SOAS. Landscape octavo. Contemporary brown half cloth binder with metal clasp spine lettered in gilt buff paper sides front board with manuscript label "Captain Smith" boards lined with pink paper typescript list of charts on inner front cover 39 sheets each typed one side only in black or blue most duplicate typescript a few top copy.
