Manuscript Diary of an Ocean Voyage to the Far East in 1927.

Rare manuscript diary kept during an ocean voyage aboard the steamer ship Korean Maru from California to Hawaii and the Far East, as far as Ceylon, where the account ends. Octavo, bound in red morocco with clasp, illustrated with sketches in the margins, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Accompanied by a postcard of the S.S. Korea Maru and a photographically illustrated view book of Japan laid in, and a telegram from The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. addressed to Lyell MacLean, "Bon Voyage to you and your mother and father what a wonderful trip to start out upon. Sorry I didn't know sooner I would have had a better steamer surprise for all of you. Good health much joy and safe return with best wishes and love Verona." In very good condition with some bumping and rubbing to the extremities, toning to the spine.
