About This Item
92 pp.Offprint from an article in the French Annales hydrographiques, describing the coasts of Yemen and Oman from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf. The work first appeared in English in the London geographical journal .... The present French translation was done by J. Passama and J. de la Vaissiere de Laverge. The Persian Gulf was growing in importance for the British during the 19th century because of the "strategic nature of the coast of South Arabia and the necessity for checking the advance of the Turks in that direction. In addition, because the company needed to establish coaling stations for its increasing fleet of steamships, a number of vessels were dispatched to locate suitable sites" (Howgego). Among the most important expeditions was the voyage of the Palinurus under command of Haines. The present French edition is very rare, we only traced one copy, at the French Bibliotheque Nationale.Ex-library copy from the Danish "Marinens Bibliotek", with its labels and stamps. Otherwise in very good condition.l Howgego W20; WorldCat (1 copy).
