Tapa dura. Condizione: Bien. Texto en inglés. Tapa dura de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados ni anotaciones. Perfecto estado de conservación. Tom Diaper's Logbook is the memoir of a remarkable man and a rare opportunity to read first-hand about the drama, conflict and fascinating details that made up the life of a for-hire rac…ing skipper during the glory days of racing. Tom Diaper wrote his memoirs on scraps of paper and old cigarette papers and these were pulled together to give a narrative of his life from a toddler on his father's yacht until his retirement as a skipper. The book tells of dramatic races with the German Kaiser, working for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, both World Wars and other exciting adventures over Tom's lifetime.\n\n. Libro.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. The personal memoirs of Tom Diaper, one of the great yacht skippers who raced for many famous yacht owners in the late 19th and early 20th century; with an introduction by Sir Sidney Wadsworth who describes "being completely carried away reading this unsophisticated but vivid… and convincing narrative" of Diaper who spent his whole life at sea, his first job as a pantry boy aboard a team yacht, the 'Queen of Palmyra' in 1879 aged just 13. He retired in 1936 when he had become one of the most famous and successful of professional yacht skippers. He worked for the Earl of Dunraven, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Sir Thomas Lipton and many other famous yachtsmen. At the height of his success it was difficult to get other skippers to race against him. His account of his varied career is fascinating and depressing. It clearly shows how precarious was the livelihood gained even by the most gifted of professional yachting seamen. Unfortunately the author did not live to see the publication of his book, dying on the 12th December 1949 at the age of 82. Illustrated by 8 b/w. photo's. & with facsimiles of his handwritten notes at the head of each chapter. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xi + 163 + 1. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Gilt titles spine (faded) with bright gilt ruling to cloth edge. light fading to cloth spine & some wear to outer corners. Includes index & list of publisher's yachting titles to rear. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Ships & the Sea; Yachting; Yacht Racing; Memoirs; late 19th and early 20th centuies; Sports & Pastimes. Inventory No: 4652. Member of the P.B.F.A. Hardcover (Quarterbound blue cloth and marbled paper).
