| 103. | Manuscript. LETTER BOOK OF ROBERT AND WILLIAM GIVEEN, 1839 - 1874. 4to. Over 400 manuscript pages. This is a copybook, containing an interesting series of letters, first from Robert Giveen, who was a sea captain and agent in New Orleans for Clement Martin of Brunswick, Maine. He reports on general mercentile conditions and on his attempts to find cargos for Martin’s ships. These letters are highly informative, with a great deal of detail. About 1860 Giveen moves to Topsham and Brunswick, where he continues his work as a shipping agent. Several of the letters from the early 1860s discuss a shipbuilding deal with Sewall, Day & Co. He then moves to New York, and then England, as the Civil War heats up. His letters discuss this - “The Slidell & Mason affair has settled their feeling in favor of the Southern confederacy. And the blocking up of southern harbors with Granite Ships is considered an act of barbarism.” He leaves Cardiff for the Mediterranean in 1862 but must have suffered some reversal, as he attempts to sell his ship, the Charles S. Pernell, in Genoa in 1862. In June of that year he writes, “my health is not good.” There is a last letter to his wife, and then his nephew (?) William takes over the letter book, writing, “Capt. Giveen died a short time since leaving the estate much involved.” William was an attorney and a banker rather than a seafaring man, and the letters quickly become concerned with financial affairs and real estate in the Brunswick area, as well as Maine and national politics - “Hannibal did carry his pigs to the wrong market... do you intend to support Abe next fall?” He was also involved with Bowdoin College and some of these letters involve college business. $850 |

Bos. 1820. b/w frontis, folding map. xxix, 461 pp. Mariner set out from England on a whaling and privateering voyage as a boy in 1815. The crew mutinied at Tonga and then was murdered by the natives, Mariner being the only survivor. He was adopted by a chief and lived with the natives for 4 years. Martin befriended the youngster on his return to England and recorded the story. This is the first American edition of the book, which appeared in England in 1817.

This story of that voyage is one of the classics of cruising literature.” - Toy 860. This is the first edition of a great book, but the binding is worn, the pages are spotted, and receipts from an early owner - one from Baker’s Great Book Shop in Birmingham, the other for the money order to pay for the book - are tipped in. The owner was from Georgia and the book has suffered in the southern climate, now more of a relic than a treasure. $75 |
| 108. | Moore, John H. THE NEW PRACTICAL NAVIGATOR... Newburyport, MA. 1800 b/w plates. xii-282, (224), (507)-570 (2) pp. Second edition, with Bowditch’s corrections and additions - he is is the “Skillful Mathematician” referred to on the title page. The first was published in 1799. Thus, even though it appears under Moore’s name, this is considered the second appearance of Bowditch’s work, and is so listed by Campbell. (Both editions were published by Edmund Blunt in Newburyport, just up the coast from Bowditch’s home port of Salem.) According to Campbell this edition is rarer than the 1802 edition which, because it carries Bowditch’s name, brings higher prices among collectors. See Campbell 2.

He would certainly qualify as the most up-to-date authority in 1861. Interestingly, Plate VI is a double page spread of the lines of the “American Sailing Yacht America.” Plates VIII is a double page spread of the Great Eastern, and plates VII-XXVII have to do with steam powered vessels. Scott 735. Unaccountably scarce. No copies have appeared in the trade in recent years and none are listed online.

In 1906 she brought the body of John Paul Jones back from France to America. Normally she had a complement of 26 officers, 391 crew and 45 marines. This book lists all the supplies that the ship and men would need, from monkey wrenches to rubber bands. Presumably the supply officer would have used it to outfit the ship, perhaps making check marks in the blank spaces next to the thousands of entries. However, no entries have been made in this copy. Some wear to printed cover. Good. $150 |
