THE AMERICAN COAST PILOT; CONTAINING THE COURSES AND DISTANCES BETWEEN THE PRINCIPAL HARBOURS, CAPES AND HEADLANDS...Corrected and Improved by the Most Experienced Pilots in the United ... Second edition of the primary American navigational guide, with some one hundred pages of additional material, published without maps or plates, as was the first edition of 1796. The first edition is famously rare; the only copy at auction since 1991 sold for $57,600 at the Frank Streeter sale in 2007. Includes sailing directions to many of the east coast harbors and ports, listing courses and distances from Cape Cod and Cape Ann to George's Bank, and a tide table. All early editions of THE AMERICAN COAST PILOT are quite rare.
