Title: Directory for Behring's Sea and Coast of Alaska, arranged from the Directory of The Pacific Ocean, by A. G. Findlay; Corrected from charts of the United States Surveying Expedition Under Command of Commodore John Rodgers, 1855, and from Surveys of Commander R. W. Meade, Jr., Commander United States Steamer Saginaw, 1869 Author: Findlay, A. G. Place: Washington Publisher: Government Printing Office Date: 1869 Description: 193 pp. (8vo) 23x15 cm (9x5¾"), cloth wrappers lettered in gilt. Warren Heckrotte comments that "Findlay was an Englishman whose directories were published in England. It seems curious and a bit strange that the US Navy turned to Findlay for this work. Davidson's Coast Pilot of Alaska came out in 1869 also; it covers primarily the Alaskan coast up to Cook's Inlet. Findlay's work covers a larger region." With printed tipped to front free endpaper, "With the compliments of the United States Hydrographic Office, J. R. Bartlett, Commander U.S. Navy. Hydrographer to the Bureau of Navigation". Below is signature in pencil of H.E. Nichols US Navy. Lot Amendments Condition: Just a little rubbing to extremities; very good or better. Item number: 273201
