1875WRCAM50678London 1875. 402pp. plus folding map. Folio. 20th-century three-quarter calf and marbled paper boards spine gilt. Stefansson Library stamp on titlepage deaccessioned. Toned minor chipping at edges of some leaves. Final leaf repaired with archival paper with no loss to text; small tears in margin of map. Very good. This scarce document describes the plans for the 1875 Nares Expedition includes specifications for the H.M.S. Discovery data on supplies needed estimations of costs and a hydrographer's report as well as a color chart of the North Polar Sea. The chart is a Polar projection map showing the seas navigated by British expeditions as well as coasts discovered by British American German Swedish and Austrian explorers through 1874. <br> <br> The Nares expedition which sailed from 1875 to 1876 strove to be the first to reach the North Pole and to explore its coasts and region. Though unsuccessful in this venture the expedition was the first to sail ships through the channel between Greenland and Ellesmere Island and as far north as the Lincoln Sea recording valuable information about the mysterious region. A sledging party under Captain Albert Hastings Markham also set a new record on land reaching as far north as 83° 20'. The British Parliament printed occasional reports of the various expeditions and related Arctic subjects which became known as the Arctic "blue books" named after the distinctive blue wrappers in which they were originally issued. This copy has the stamp of the Stefansson collection at the Dartmouth library but was deaccessioned as a duplicate to his widow. ARCTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY 45251. hardcover books

Small old crease just effecting the image but not very visible. A very nice example. very good This wonderful CDV comprises an image of each crew member and the mascot. The central image is of the ship. Souvenir photographs of both the Alert and the Discovery were taken by rival photographers before the departure of the expedition. Both produced CDV copes as well as much larger examples. Although quite small each potrait is very clear and the name of the individual is usually readable with a magnifing glass.

Octavo 8" x 5" bound three quarter leather with raised spine bands and gilt lettering to spine over marbled boards. Edited by Sir Tancred Robinson. Second edition preferred over the first edition "because it has the chart of the western and southern oceans." Hill In 1699.<br /><br />First published in 1694 which contained only two maps The book is important because it contains one of the earliest English accounts of Abel Janszoon Tasman's famous voyage of 1642 from Batavia during which he discovered Tasmania and New Zealand and visited Tonga and Fiji Hill 1475.<br /><br />Rear Admiral Sir John Narborough RN was an English naval commander of the 17th century who served with distinction during the Anglo-Dutch Wars and against the Barbary Coast pirates. He was descended from an old Norfolk family. He received his commission in 1664 and in 1666 was promoted lieutenant for gallantry in the action with the Dutch fleet off the Downs in June of that year. After the peace he was chosen to conduct a voyage of exploration in the South Seas. He set sail from Deptford on November 26 1669 and entered the Straits of Magellan in October of the following year. In 1670 he visited Port Desire in Argentina and claimed the territory for the Kingdom of Great Britain but returned home in June 1671 without accomplishing his original purpose. A narrative of the expedition was published at London in 1694 under the title <i>An Account of several late Voyages and Discoveries to the South and North</i>. During the Third Anglo-Dutch War Narborough was second captain of the Lord High Admiral's ship the Prince and conducted himself with such conspicuous valor at the battle of Solebay Southwold Bay in May 1672 that he won special approbation and shortly afterwards was made rear-admiral and knighted. In 1675 he was sent to suppress the Tripoline piracies and by the bold expedient of dispatching gun-boats into the harbor of Tripoli at midnight and burning the ships he induced the them to agree to a treaty. Shortly after his return he undertook a similar expedition against the Algerians. In 1680 he was appointed commissioner of the Navy an office he held till his death. He was buried at Knowlton church Kent where a monument has been erected to his memory. The island of Fernadina the youngest and westernmost island of the Galapagos Archipelago was originally named 'Narborough Island' in his honor by the 17th century buccaneer William Ambrosia Cowley.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Marginal foxing soiling and damp staining through out paper fault across second C2 affecting one letter some rubbing hinges and corners else a better than good copy.
