The inspiration of the sailing ship for the artist, manifest in the great marine paintings of four hundred years, is part of the adventure too. So are the excitement and love inspired by the sailing ship in ordinary people, which created the demand for innumerable simple prints of ships throughout the age of sail. Captain Donald Macintyre has written a historical record of four centuries, from the first circumnavigation of the world to the virtual disappearance of the square~rigged ship. This is followed by a selection of contemporary writings of many nations, from 1520 to 1914 ( Francisco Antonio Pigafetta, William Bourne, Sir Francis Drake the Younger, Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, Gerrit de Veer, Willem Cornelison Schouten, Thomas Heywood, A. Richer, George Lord Anson, Louis de Bougainville, Captain James Cook, Horatio Viscount Nelson, Captain Isaac Hull USN, Richard Dana, Captain H. A. Chippendale USN, Basil Lubbock, Basil Greenhill CBE, Joseph Conrad, etc.), each piece showing an important aspect of the age of sail, the whole combining with over three hundred beautiful illustrations to give a comprehensive picture of the sailing ship experience. Captain Macintyre traces the development of sails, rigging and hull design, from the caravel, carrack and galleon to the clipper epoch, when the sailing ship became a thing of visual and functional perfection; and beyond to the autumn of the age of sail, to the great steel~hulled four and five~masted barques and barquentines, which had a strange beauty of their own.' He tells the story of maritime exploration and the establishment of commerce : a story of friendly or hostile competition among nations sharing the common experience of the struggle against the sea. Adventure, in the ordinary sense of dramatic and exciting episodes, fills the history of sail and has received an extraordinary amount of eyewitness documentation. The selection of contemporary documents in this volume unfolds a stirring tale of storms, shipwrecks and fights, of famous ships and the men who sailed in them. It shows, as nothing else can, what life in sailing ships was really like. It relives great moments of discovery or despair, such as the first rounding of Cape Horn, or the last voyage of Willem Barents in his brave and futile search for the Northeast Passage, ennobled by the courage and dignity of a crew lost among ice and polar bears in the dark, dreaded Arctic winter. It evokes the brutality of life at sea, but also its warmer, more humorous side. After the horrors of Anson's voyage it is a relief to read of Bougainville's reception at Tahiti and the meeting of Cook's sailors with the nymphs of Nootka Sound. The odyssey of the human spirit is ever present in The Adventure of Sail, from the perceptive introduction by the famous modern sailing man and boat designer, Uffa Fox, to the highly.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some very very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 525pp. presents around 500 of the most important letters uncovered during the course of the epic Nelson Letters Project, a five year search of archives throughout the world. Dating from 1777 and including the earliest extant Nelson letter, this collection shows us both Nelson the officer and Nelson the private man, and, uniquely among the plethora of new Nelson books, it records his life and exploits in his own words. Written in Nelson's free flowing and conversational style, these letters introduce a very real and human figure bringing us much closer to an otherwise distant historical hero. Colin White's accompanying annotations and essays place Nelson's life and letters in full context. So alongside letters to the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV), Prime Minister Addington, and dignitaries like the King and Queen of Naples, covering treaty negotiations, battle orders and campaign plans, we can also read warm missives to family and friends, informal notes and instructions to colleagues and subordinates and some eloquently passionate letters to Emma Hamilton. Other highlights include Nelson's account of the Battle of Copenhagen, detailed orders for the Trafalgar and Nile campaigns, notes of his careful diplomatic negotiations, his network of personal contacts, and his concern with his public image. Published to mark the 200th anniversary of Nelson's death at Trafalgar. A very large heavy book, extra postage may be required.

Sung by Mr. Incledon, in the Interlude of Nelson's Glory, at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden. London: Printed & Sold by Preston, at his Wholesale Warehouses, 97 Strand, [1805].

Good.  Scarce patriotic sheet music issued in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Lord Nelson on 21 October 1805. Written by the dramatist and songwriter Thomas Dibdin (1771-1841), the piece formed part of Nelson's Glory, a theatrical interlude performed at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, one of several productions mounted in response to Britain's greatest naval victory. The lyrics celebrate Nelson's triumph over the combined French and Spanish fleets while simultaneously memorialising his death in battle.  The song was performed by the celebrated tenor Charles Incledon (1763-1826), among the most popular singers of the Georgian stage. His prominent appearance on the title-page reflects both his celebrity status and the commercial appeal of such commemorative productions. Printed by the Strand music publisher Preston and sold for one shilling, the work was intended for immediate performance and domestic consumption during the wave of public mourning and patriotic enthusiasm that followed Trafalgar.

The hero's manes there in peace shall rest,  while his loved image lives in every breast.  Such broadsides were produced in the immediate aftermath of Trafalgar and Nelson's death, but survival is comparatively uncommon given their ephemeral nature. A striking and decorative Trafalgar item, issued within days of Nelson's funeral.

Lord Nelson's brilliant naval strategy and unparalleled command gave Britain total supremacy at sea and made him a national hero. Much of his success, however, was also due to the Band of Brothers under his command; the most loyal and dedicated officers that the Royal Navy had ever seen. They included Troubridge, that dear good soul; Hardy, with whom Nelson was always in accord; Berry, his right hand; Fremantle, his staunch supporter; and Hood, gentle and unaffected. Despite their different backgrounds and outlooks, they were united in their devotion to Nelson. The author tells the stories of these Captains and the exploits they commanded under Nelson.

Several fold lines. Page one carries the half-penny tax stamp. In small print and double column. The entire number concerns the battle. Begins: 'Admiralty-Office, April 15, 1801. | CAPTAIN OTWAY, of His Majesty's Ship the London, arrived in Town this Morning with Dispatches from Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, Commander in Chief of a Squadron of His Majesty's Ships employed on a particular Service, to Evan Nepean Esq; dated on board the London, in Copenhagen-Roads, the 6th Instant, of which the following are Copies:' Parker's long letter to Nepean follows, including, for example: 'Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, having offered his Services for conducting the Attack, had, some Days before we entered the Sound, shifted his Flag to the Elephant; and after having examined and buoyed the Outer Channel of the Middle Ground, his Lordship proceeded with the Twelve Ships of the Line named in the Margin, all the Frigates, Bombs, Fire-Ships, and all the small Vessels, and that Evening anchored off Draco Point to make his Disposition for the Attack, and wait for the Wind to the Southward.' A postscript follows, and then copies of two letters apiece from Parker and 'the Commanding Officer of Cronenberg Castle', Stricker (the latter in translation). This is followed by Nelson's account of the battle (signed in type 'NELSON and BRONTE.'), addressed from 'Elephant, off Copenhagen, | 3d April, 1801.' It includes: 'From the very intricate Navigation, the Bellona and Russel unfortunately grounded, but although not in the Situation assigned them, yet so placed as to be of Great Service. The Agamemnon could not weather the Shoal of the Middle, and was obliged to anchor; but not the smallest Blame can be attached to Captain Fancourt; it was an Event to which all the Ships were liable.' Nelson concludes: 'The Loss in such a Battle has naturally been very heavy. Amongst many other brave Officers and Men who were killed, I have with Sorrow to place the Name of Captain Mosse, of the Monarch, who has left a Wife and Six Children to lament his Loss; and, among the Wounded, that of Captain Sir Thomas B. Thompson of the Bellona.' The number ends with a long 'List of the Killed and Wounded in the Attack on the Enemy's Line of Defence, Batteries, &c. on the 2d of April 1801.'.
