About This Item
[Seattle]: [University of Washington?], 1931. First edition. Tall octavo. [36] pp. including numerous photographic illustrations, a full page map and others. Publisher's decorative wrappers. Central bifolium unmoored but an easy fix. Very bright and fresh.This is essentially an advertisement for a cruise to Alaska for young men aboard sailing boats (40 footers with auxiliary engines). It was lead by two young university teachers; Schmoe from the State Museum of Washington and and Harby from Columbia University. There are sections like the following; To the Boys, To the Parents; Excerpts from Diary of Last Year's Trip. All very well illustrated. Endorsements from parents and newspapers, etc. This was to be a "semi-scientific expedition" as the boys were expected to collect samples for the State Museum. Dr. Hubert Bauer, an ex-Commander in the German Navy, was their skipper. Application form at the end. Only 2 copies located by OCLC.
