Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. ix, [1], 246 pages. Frontis illustration. Dated inscription by the author on fep. The author was a former Rhodes scholar who studied history at Oxford. He attended Harvard Law School after which he sailed around the world as a seaman on a freighter, which is when…he wrote Trails of the Sea. He returned to Harvard and then moved to the Washington Law School and became a practicing attorney with a diversified national and international practice. The first case he tried involved the legal rights of shipwrecked seamen, which he briefed from Phoenician days to modern times. Representing the Alaska Steamship Company, through appeals to the Supreme Court, he won the case there. He argued ten other cases in the Supreme Court, winning eight. Upon retirement, he found time to publish this long-forgotten logbook of his experiences at sea. This "log" was written following the year he served as a crew member on a freighter that sailed around the world in 1924. Having experience as a large newspaper's "foreign correspondent", and a history student, he writes well of his experiences and observations. The Yeoman is a powerful, beamy, serviceable looking boat of great carrying power, her carrying capacity being equal to 3,000 tons deadweight. She is wholly built of iron, and was constructed in 1882 by Messrs. Campbell, Mackintosh, and Bowstead, of Newcastle-on-Tyne. The Yeoman, being built under the Passenger Act, has ample and roomy accommodation for emigrants, being pierced fore and aft between decks for this purpose. What is called dummies occupy the place of port windows, as there is no occasion for the latter at present. The bridge is amidships, and is rigged with patent steam steering gear, and all the latest improvements in the steam ship line. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
