Preserved in brick-coloured linen cloth clamshell slipcase w/ printed label on spine. Eighth edition of this early vital tool for American sea captains and navigators first published in a much shorter version of only 122 pp. in 1796 and the first edition to bear only Edmund Blunt’s name as author. The original commissioned from Captain Lawrence Furlong proved so crude and unusable that Blunt arranged for it to be edited and rewritten. Blunt’s Coast Pilots were the earliest works of their type published in North America to cover the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. with sailing directions tide tables tables of latitudes and longitudes and as this copy shows were often working evolving documents with additional manuscript annotations and printed additions including in this case the Charleston Harbour map which is not included in the binding instructions and supposedly left out of the 8th edition.

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
