Order Nr. 72145

Issued as a two volume set, in the catalogue of the Library of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich. The aim has been to provide extensive annotations, enabling the reader to see the range of printed material in his chosen field, as well as being a list of books concerned with collective and individual biography, the former including an important section on Navy Lists, up to May, 1968. Here is the whole congregation of persons associated with ships and the sea--admirals, naval officers, merchant seamen, navigators, engineers, mapmakers, fishermen, marine artists, writers, etc. Vol. 2, part 2, is a supplementary reference list of more than 15,000 names of maritime interest selected from the principal sources of collective biography. Illustrated with 8 facsimiles of historical prints. Spines sunned, else a very good copy. From the private reference library of Dorothy Sloan with a commemorative bookplate loosely inserted.
