City of Honolulu which featured here a Boat Deck and A - D Decks with cabins staterooms and facilities all clearly demarcated. The S.S. City of Honolulu originally launched in 1900 for the German Far East Mail Routes as the SS Kiautschou later as the S.S. Princess Alice for the North German Lloyd Line until seized by the U.S. in the Philippines in World War I. Renamed the USS Princess Matoika she carried over 50000 US Troops of the AEF to and from France and following the War carried much of the American US Olympic team to Antwerp in 1920. She resumed passenger service in 1922 as the SS President Arthur sailed for the American Palestine Line becoming the first ocean liner to fly the Zionist flag as she sailed to Palestine from New York and also featured the first women ship’s officers. She sailed for the Los Angeles Steamship Co. for about 3 years after refurbishment until a fire in Honolulu Harbor in 1930 and scrapping in Japan in 1933. No copies in Worldcat Huntington Library does have similar deck plan supposedly for the 1922 S.S. City of Honolulu but theirs is mostly likely a later deck plan as their displacement is listed at 20000 tons and the original City of Honolulu was launched as the 10500 ton SS Friedrich der Grosse North German Lloyd liner August 1896 scrapped after fire in her Oct. 12 1922 LASS Co. maiden voyage.

Imprimerie de Monaco, 1895.

Importante raccolta di studi scientifici di biologia marina, realizzati sotto la direzione del Principe Alberto I di Monaco (Parigi, 1848 – Parigi, 1922). Alberto I, ancora molto giovane, ad appena ventidue anni, iniziò a coltivare la passione per le scienze naturali e in particolare per l'oceanografia. Si interessò ai nuovi strumenti che la tecnica metteva a disposizione per lo studio dei fondali marini, e con il sostegno di importanti scienziati compì studi oceanografici, realizzò mappe e carte nautiche. A lui si deve la fondazione di quello che sarebbe divenuto l'”Istituto Oceanografico” di Monaco, che include oggi un acquario, un museo e una biblioteca. Disponiamo di questo fascicolo VIII relativo a Epizoanthus, Caryophillia, Deltocyathus, Flabellum, Stephanotrochus, Balanophyllia. Piccole fioriture e alcune gualciture alla brossura, alcune fioriture marginali alla prima tavola, buono tutto l'interno, ancora intonso.
