U. S.
Light-House Service District Charts
20178. [Light-House
District Maps]. U. S. Light-House Service. c. 1900-1908. A rare
opportunity to obtain early, official U. S. Light-House Service District charts
of all district aids to navigation as bound in their Annual Reports. Normally
these charts are included within the Annual Reports and we are unable to offer
them separately but we have found a lot of disbound charts in wonderful
condition. These are perfect for matting and framing for your wall. Charts
detail the entire Light-House District in three colors, and show all
lighthouses, beacons, light vessels, fog signals, lighted buoys, Light-House
Depots, and more. Charts average about 14" x 18" in size with original
folds and are clean and crisp - they will flatten and frame nicely for your
wall. A rare chance to obtain the chart of your Light-House District for
framing. (VG).

ILLUSTRATED COAST PILOT WITH SAILING DIRECTIONS. THE ATLANTIC AND GULF COASTS OF

superb recognition photographs of lighthouses and light vessels along
the coast during the period. Includes sailing directions and description of
lights along the coast, identifies approaches, lights, ledges and other coastal
features. Much use is made of Stebbins’s photographs, and this work presents
an excellent view of the entire east coast from Maine to Texas, as it appeared
at the turn of the century. Beautifully rebound in cloth museum-quality wraps
with unusually little wear save a few moisture stains to first few pages,
otherwise contents clean and tight. Well worth it for the wonderful lighthouse

22428. NOTICE TO MARINERS. COAST OF
MISSISSIPPI. Light-House on Merrill Shell Bank, instead of the
Light-Vessel. "….a light-house on a screw-pile
foundation has been erected on the shoal to mark the position heretofore
occupied by the light-vessel at Merrill’s Shell Bank. The foundation is
square in plan, and is composed of iron screw piles; is surmounted by a
wooden superstructure, with lantern above its centre. The height at the
focal plane is about 45 feet above mean sea level. The illuminating
apparatus is a lens of the fourth order of the system of Fresnel, showing
a fixed light of the natural color, which in ordinary states of the
weather should be visible from the deck of a vessel (ten feet above the
water) about eleven nautical miles. The light-house will be lighted up for
the first time at sun-down on the 10th of August next, and will be kept
burning during that and every night thereafter until further orders. On
the same day (August 10) the Merrill Shall Bank light-vessel will be
removed from her station and will not be replaced. By order of the
Light-house Board: Wm. F. Smith, Engineer Secretary, Office of the
Light-House Board, Washington, July 9, 1860." Clean, crisp save three
coffee-like spots, with original light folds. 8" x 13 ½". (VG)

1885. 217p. Red embossed, black binding. Covers the entire east coast of
the United States and a portion of the Gulf Coast as well. Includes a
complete index of lighthouses with characteristics, as well as sailing
directions throughout the entire area. Capt. William A.(lbert) Pratt born
Sept. 15, 1833 Essex CT and died there on November 10, 1912. Pratt went to
sea as a schoonerman at age 16. As a coastal schooner captain and
businessman he specialized in granite from Deep River CT., and patented a
new type jib hank on December 24, 1872 (Pat No. 134164). From 1878 through
1893 he published this book in addition to maintaining his granite
business. During this period there were few pilot books available covering
the area covered in Pratt's book in one volume. Prior to this publication,
Blunts' Coast Pilot, which had been in continuous print since 1798, served
mariners by proving this information. In 1875 the US Coast Survey began to
issue pilot books but divided them in sections requiring mariners to
purchase at least 7 volumes to cover the same geographic area as Pratt's
Pilot covered. Light overall browning, otherwise unusually clean and tight
in bright embossed covers. A fine example of a scarce pilot. (VG-). $88
