First Edition of Alfred F. Loomis' Ocean Racing
First edition of this classic yachting work, a richly illustrated history of major blue-water yacht races from 1866 to 1935, chronicling the development of competitive ocean racing and the personalities, vessels, and maritime traditions that shaped the sport. Octavo, original publisher's cloth stamped in blind and gilt, frontispiece by Morris Rosenfeld, illustrated with track charts and photographs. In very good condition. Bookseller's ticket from Charles E. Lauriat Co. Sea books Boston to the front free endpaper.
Yachtsmen will appreciate this running history of ocean racing, by an author well known for his "Yachts Under Sail." Until now there has been no full chronicle of the deep-water sport which differs from "longshore racing as a voyage 'round Cape Horn in Maytime differs from a row in the park."
