Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The exploits of the British Fleet during the close blockade of France in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars have generated a rich seam of historical and fictional writing. This book makes available for the first time an astonishingly untapped source of visual material commissioned by the powerful civilian members of the Admiralty Board, to increase their grasp on a critical theatre of military operations. The marine artist J. T. Serres, son of well-known maritime artist Dominic Serres, embarked in the ships of the inshore frigate squadron blockading Brest at the very time when it was being tightened by the new Commander-in-Chief, Lord St Vincent. Espionage, shipwreck, mutiny and hydrographic controversy all enter into an account which will interest students of naval history, aficionados of naval fiction as well as cruising yachtsmen. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. John Gow was a notorious pirate whose short career inspired many writers of the day, among them Sir Walter Scott and Daniel Defoe. Growing up in Stromness, Orkney, an important international port of the time, the lure of the sea was inescapable for many young men and Gow was no exception. Legend has it that he ran away to sea at an early age, but little is actually known about his life before the fateful trip from Amsterdam on board the Caroline. Dissatisfied with life as a humble sailor, the ambitious Gow led a mutiny, propelling him to the rank of Captain. After his exploits in France, Spain and Portugal, Gow retreated back to Orkney where he tried to resume a sedate life as a trader. But it was just a matter of time before temptation got the better of him and the authorities were to track him down . . . About the Author Daniel Defoe (c. 1659 - 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest practitioners of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain, and is even referred to by some as one of the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than five hundred books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural).

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In a world that saw the emergence of automatic time-balls, telegraph time signals, the speaking clock and the BBC's `six pips', one family provided Greenwich Time to paying customers across London for a staggering 103 years - using a pocket watch named `Arnold'. Ruth, the last of the time-sellers, finally retired in her 80s, in 1939, bringing to a close a remarkable episode in the history of timekeeping and of London life. David Rooney, Curator of Timekeeping at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, seeks to show that the Belvilles operated a service that, while simple, was in many ways better than the`official' electric time signals from Greenwich. This book will turn the story of the Greenwich Time Service on its head, showing for the first time the strengths of Ruth Belville and her family, and the weaknesses of the more familiar telegraphic services. Commercial propaganda, dirty tricks and failing technologies come together in a story of a Greenwich Time Lady with a will to succeed in Edwardian London. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. There must have been few more thrilling sights than a large square-rigged ship in full sail. These magnificent, engineless vessels once carried heavy cargoes of nitrate, coal, guano or grain, battling with the storms off Cape Horn or sailing gently in or out of harbours in a light breeze. While the days in which square-riggers routinely transported goods around the world has now passed, their allure continues to linger. In this classic introduction, originally published in 1975 under the title Voyaging with the Wind, Alan Villiers offers a first-hand, practical overview of these fascinating ships and their design, of the routes they sailed, and of the specialist skills of men who worked on them. Relying on fifty years of personal experience at sea, he shows what it meant to`learn the ropes' and shares his infectious enthusiasm for the joys and dangers of working with sail and wind. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
