The Yachtsman's Pilot. To the Harbours of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland; & The Continent of Europe From Ymuiden to Bordeaux

London England: Hurst & Blackett, 1933. Hardback. Foxing to end inside covers and edge. Sunned spine to cloth. Green cloth with red lettering. The aim has been to eliminate all superfluities and to give the reader just those essential facts which, as a stranger entering a port, he particularly desires. For example, he wishes to know exactly where to bring up, what are the traps for the unwary, where he can get stores, what is the time of high water based on Dover, and so on. How often does one see a stranger entering such ports as Ostende or Torquay quite bewildered because lacking clear and precise information as to where the best berths exist! The area covered comprises the harbours of the United Kingdom, ireland, and the European continent from Ymuiden along the coasts of Holland, Belgium, and France to Bordeaux. The harbour plans are meant to supplement the largest scale charts, which should be on board. All bearings and courses given are Magnetic, unless otherwise stated. It should be added that a part of this book appeared week by week in The Field, and that in answer to the requests of readers the whole has been issued in book form, but after revision and considerable extension so as to include very likely cruising area. Illustrated with 32 Harbour Plans. 384 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) . First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Harback.
