Half title and front wrappers with a library stamp, some spotting. Wrappers strengthened with strips of cloth, otherwise in very good condition. A maritime mystery in print: the Dutch edition of a sensational (and possibly fabricated) eyewitness account of the loss of the President, the largest passenger ship of her day. Launched in 1840, the SS President was the pride of transatlantic travel, the largest passenger vessel afloat. In March 1841, she sailed from New York to Liverpool with 136 passengers and crew. Somewhere between Nantucket Shoals and Georges Bank, she met a fierce gale and vanished. All aboard were lost. The disaster gripped Europe and America alike: even Queen Victoria reportedly followed the news closely. In 1842, Hamburg publisher Berendsohn issued a German edition of what claimed to be an eyewitness account, allegedly written by Methodist clergyman George Grimston Cookman (18001841), one of the doomed passengers. According to the story, Cookman's manuscript had been found in a bottle near Newfoundland. The account, though almost certainly a fabrication designed to exploit public fascination, is a fascinating artifact of how 19th-century publishers turned tragedy into sensation. The present volume is the rare Dutch translation of that German edition, a remarkable witness to the interplay of disaster, rumor, and print culture. For collectors of maritime history, shipwreck narratives, or 19th-century popular literature, this Dutch edition is both a curiosity and a conversation piece. ¶ WorldCat lists two copies only (Utrecht, University Library; Leiden, University Library Leiden). Cf. Cat. NHSM p. 168 (German edition).

8°. 31 SS. Rücknbroschur Seltene einzige deutsche Ausgabe dieser sicherlich fingierten Schrift, mit angeblich den letzten Aufzeichnungen des Geistlichen George Grimston Cookman (1800-1841) aus den Stunden vor dem Untergang des grossen Dampfschiffes President, das im März 1841 vor der Küste von Massachusetts verschwand. Alle 136 Passagiere und die gesamte Besatzung kamen ums Leben. Die Suche nach Überlebenden dauerte Monate und erregte grosses Interesse auf beiden Seiten des Atlantik. Die vorliegenden Aufzeichnungen geben das Tagebuch eines Todgweihten an Bord und schliessen mit einem Abschied an die Welt. - Papierbedingt etwas gebräunt, sonst gut erhalten.
