Greely's voluminous official account bound with Schley's official rescue account. In 1881, First Lieutenant Greely was named to command the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition. Promoted by Henry W. Howgate, its purpose was to establish one of a chain of meteorological-observation stations as part of the First International Polar Year. The expedition also was commissioned by the US government to collect astronomical and polar magnetic data, which was carried out by the astronomer Edward Israel, who was part of Greely's crew. Another goal of the expedition was to search for any clues of USS Jeannette, lost in the Arctic two years earlier The expedition sailed on the steamship SS Proteus.[1] Greely was without previous Arctic experience, but he and his party succeeded in discovering and exploring much of the coast of northwest Greenland. The expedition also crossed Ellesmere Island from east to west, and James B. Lockwood and David Legge Brainard achieved a new "farthest north" record of 83° 23' 8" on Lockwood Island.[7] In 1882, Greely sighted a mountain range during a dog sledding exploration to the interior of northern Ellesmere Island and named it the Conger Range.[8] He also sighted the Innuitian Mountains from Lake Hazen. Greely's party ran into difficulty when two supply parties failed to reach Greely's encampment Fort Conger on Ellesmere Island in 1882 and 1883.[1] In accordance with his instructions, Greely decided in August 1883 to abandon Fort Conger and travel south.[10] His team reached Cape Sabine expecting to find food and equipment left by the supply ships, but these had not been provided.[1] With winter setting in Greely and his men were forced to remain at Cape Sabine with inadequate rations and little fuel. Stereoscopic image of the Greely expedition exhibition at the Columbian Exposition, 1893. Greely and the other survivors were near death; one died on the homeward journey. They were venerated as heroes, though the heroism was temporarily tainted by sensational accusations of cannibalism, which Greely denied. Schley: A.B. 18385.

A printed table, accomplished in manuscript, recording the full crew complement of the U.S.S. Constellation at the outset of its second Mediterranean tour in 1832. The Constellation was one of the first three ships in the United States Navy, authorized by the Naval Act of 1794. It patrolled the Caribbean to protect commercial interests during the Quasi-War in 1798 (where it won the first major victory by an American warship, over the French L'Insurgente), participated in both Barbary wars, and cruised the eastern seaboard during the War of 1812. In the late 1820s and early 1830s, the ship made two trips to the Mediterranean to protect American shipping interests and collect indemnities, also transporting American foreign ministers. The second voyage was forced to return home due to a cholera outbreak in Constantinople, exacerbated by quarantine breakers (including Captain George C. Read). This monthly return is for the second month of Constellation's second Mediterranean tour, which set out in April 1832. The document records the complement of sailors and marines of each rank present on the ship, the number sick or fit for duty, and the difference to the full complement intended for the ship. The crew of 357 lost only one of their number in May, a seaman, although they may have felt his loss more keenly as Read records that they were already seven seamen below complement. The document is signed by Captain Read and countersigned by purser Josiah Colston. Captain George C. Read (1788-1862) was a decorated naval officer with a long career. Read served on the U.S.S. Constitution as a young man and eventually became its commander, the head of the Philadelphia Naval School, and was promoted to Rear Admiral. While Melancthon Taylor Woolsey considered him to have "great self-restraint and self-respect" and his historical legacy has been largely unblemished, he was in fact quite unpopular with his crew on this particular journey. According to journals kept by his officers on board, Read was mercurial and selfish, and did not hesitate to lie, cheat, and browbeat his subordinates in order to get his way. This culminated in the cholera outbreak of 1834, when the captain broke quarantine to attend a dinner party in Constantinople (which included a very sick guest), nearly facing a mutiny when he returned to his outraged crew a few days later. An informative document from the later career of one of the U.S. Navy's first vessels. Old folds, center fold splitting at edges, scattered tanning and staining. About very good.…

A large "blue back" chart of the west coast of southern Mexico and Central America, extending from Cebaco Island in present-day Panama in the south to San Blas, Mexico, to the north. The map contains eight insets delineating important safe ports: Sihuatinijo (Zihuatinejo), Acapulco, Guatulco, San Carlos, Realejo, Salinas Bay, Culebra, and San Blas. It also shows views of several volcanic mountain formations from the sea at Colina, Guatemala, and Viejo, as well as views of Cape Corrientes, the Tetas de Coyuca, and the entrance to Acapulco. The map is the seventh in a series of eight that chart the Pacific coastlines of North America and South America published by the London firm of James Imray in the mid-19th century. During this period Imray was fast becoming the principal private supplier of sea charts to the merchant ships of Great Britain. His popularity was due in large part to the production of charts such as this one, which provided new and essential basic guides to areas of the Pacific beginning to be frequented more heavily by private British traders. "Salesmanship and prolific output alone would not have brought success unless the quality of the product had been right. In achieving this Imray had an advantage over earlier generations of commercial chart publishers, who faced a continual problem acquiring adequate hydragraphic information for their charts. By Imray's time accurate new survey material was fast becoming available for all parts of the world.His contribution was to present the material in a convenient and familiar form for the merchant ship navigator. This had changed little over the years and Imray retained the well-tried format of a small-scale chart covering as much as possible of the sea passage for a particular trade, with numerous large-scale plans of ports" - Fisher. Rare, with OCLC recording only one copy, at the Huntington Library, and not in the British Library. FISHER, THE MAKERS OF THE BLUEBACK CHARTS, p.39. OCLC 80151015. Engraved chart, 26½ x 39½ inches.

Engraved three-quarter length portrait of Commodore Esek Hopkins, showing him in his Continental uniform with one hand upraised and pointing forward, while he looks off to the left; several ships sail behind him, and a banner that has the Liberty Tree and "An Appeal to God" is above his outstretched hand. Esek Hopkins was the commander of the fledgling American Navy - composed of eight merchant ships outfitted for war - during the American Revolution. After several run-ins with Congress over not following orders, and a signed petition of complaint from his officers, Hopkins was suspended in early 1777 and then summarily dismissed in January 1778. "His mediocre record of command, added to his political ineptness, made dismissal inevitable" - ANB. This print is one in a series of portraits of officers in the American Revolution, the intent of which was obviously to glorify the Americans and demonize the British. The British Museum Catalogue notes that several of the likenesses were imaginary, and the imprint lines may have been fictitious. BM CATALOGUE OF PRINTS 5336. ANB 11, p.172. Mezzotint engraving, 14 x 9¼ inches; mounted and framed to 21 x 16½ inches. Trimmed to edge of image, mounted and matted. Quite clean. Very good.…

An extremely important and visually appealing watercolor depicting trading practices on the Canton River in China, early 19th century. The work was done during the Krusenstern expedition, Russia's first major scientific voyage in the Pacific and first circumnavigation of the world by a Russian ship. It was executed by the ship's artist, Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius von Tilenau. The view is from the perspective of a boat on the river and shows several Danish trading houses set up on the riverside. The buildings are made of wood and thatch, and several barrels and logs are also present. The factories fly flags of a white cross on a red background. Several men are shown on the riverbank, a tower is seen in the middle distance, and mountains are shown across the background. A large Chinese ship, identified in the manuscript caption as a "war junk," dominates the scene on the river, and six smaller vessels are also shown. The present image by Tilesius provides a rare and vivid record of these fleeting trade seasons, providing important details of the Danish post. The original manuscript caption is attached to the verso of the watercolor and reads: "Eine Chinesische Krieges Junke oder Kommandeurs Schiff vor dem Daenischen Bankshall. Dr. Tilesius v. T. ad nat. pinxit in flumine Sinico Taiho Cantonensi." In the early 19th century foreign merchants were allowed to trade in Canton for a short four-month season only. After that the warehouses and living quarters of the company were required to be torn down, only to rebuilt the following year at the company's expense. Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius von Tilenau (1769-1857) accompanied the Krusenstern expedition on the ships Nadeshda and Newa, during the first Russian circumnavigation, from 1803 to 1806. After the Russian painter, Kurjlandzow, left the expedition in Kamchatka in 1804, Tilesius became responsible for recording interesting observations relating to the geography and natural history of the places they visited. He contributed many detailed designs for the illustrations in the third volume of Krusenstern's account of the voyage, and also published several papers of his own research. The largest part of his archive was presented to Leipzig University after his death, but the present work remained in the family of his son, Adolph Tilesius. Such original art from the Krusenstern circumnavigation is exceedingly rare. Watercolor on paper, 9 x 14¼ inches. Original manuscript caption attached to verso. Small chip (less than one inch) in upper right corner, else near fine. Mounted at upper corners onto heavier paper stock. Archival matting, and protected with mylar sheet. …

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "Mrs C. W. Horsey from her affectionate son John. Putney, September 1867". We have traced 9 copies in institutions. This work reproduces the weekly newspapers published by John Horsey during the 12-week voyage from Australia to England. John Horsey was returning home to England, alongside fellow passenger Adolph Sansosi, would collate and hand write four copies of this newspaper, leaving them on the ship for the public. His weekly report included daily logs, poems, the births and deaths of those aboard, and information on the various islands that the ship passed, such as Trinidad and the Canaries. The paper also served as a way to air personal grievance with articles on the careless use of matches by the crew and children onboard and grievances; "If the person who kindly took the pea soup out of the gallery on Tuesday last putting dirty water in its place. can suggest any recipe better suited to his taste, the owners will in future accordingly alter its preparations" (p. 68). This work can be found in the collections of the British Library, National Library of Australia, the State Library of New Wales, the State Library of Victoria, the University of Melbourne, Cambridge University, the National Library of Scotland, the University of Oxford, the National Maritime Museum.
