Buffalo” Ship’s Muster, appendix, index; original cloth (spine a little dull, but a nice copy); scarce. London; Grafton & Co.; (1915). ***The “Lady Nelson” was originally sent out for Matthew Flinders’ use on his circumnavigation of Australia, and accompanied him when he set off, but her slow sailing meant she was unable to keep up and was forced to turn back when she ran aground off the Queensland coast. The voyage included the first navigation of Bass Strait from West to East. The “Lady Nelson” was an experimental vessel, and her performance was of considerable interest to nautical science. Grant was given command rather than the designer Captain Schanck, as it was thought that the experiment would be given a fairer trial. The sliding keels did not, however, make the impact expected in spite of the advantage they presented for surveying in shallow waters. #4993 A$625.00

(Melbourne); The Miegunyah Press; (1997). ***Edition limited to 1000 copies for sale. Number Thirteen in the second Miegunyah Press series. A magnificent production; a long-overdue detailed analysis of Captain James Cook’s ship. The “Endeavour” is one of the most famous ships in maritime history, yet surprisingly few details of her were known to any but a small number of maritime historians. More than twenty-five years before publication of this book, Ray Parkin, seaman, author and artist was amazed to find how little was known and recorded of this ship, and set out to document everything he could discover. His researches were encouraged by that renowned scholar and chronicler of James Cook, Professor J. C. Beaglehole. The result is the most painstaking study of the “Endeavour” yet undertaken and a unique account of a great voyage of discovery: the passage of the “Endeavour” up the east coast of Australia (then called New Holland) in the year 1770. Written for the scholar, mariner and layperson alike, Ray Parkin has recreated for the reader the very “experience” of being on board H. M. Bark “Endeavour”. With meticulous research, he reveals what she looked like, how she sailed, how she smelled; all aspects of daily life on board. No part of the ship or her functioning is too insignificant for his enquiries. How many strands of yarn were there in the ships cable? (954) Did the ship have a lightning conductor? (Yes) What was the diameter of the main mast? (21 inches). There are two sections: Part I, The World of the Ship, details the sailor and his environment, the Captain, the ship herself, scurvy and provisioning, the ship’s company, and remarks on individuals come to notice through misfortune or by their sins and adventures. The text is accompanied by a series of plans and figures depicting the ship’s architecture and construction, her deck plan, rigging, sails, armament, boats, cables, anchors and accommodation. Fifteen of these are reproduced as large folding full-size sketches in the accompanying folding case. Part II, The Voyage (up the east coast of Australia), is a masterly synthesis of the Ship’s Log and the journals of James Cook, Sydney Parkinson and Joseph Banks, supplemented where illuminating and appropriate, by extracts from the journals of other members of the ship’s complement, and with an interpretive commentary and clearly drawn explanatory charts. #49819 A$450.00
