32175. Gibbs, James A. Jr., Shipwwrecks Off Juan De Fuca. Portland., 1968.
- Gibbs, James A. Jr., Shipwwrecks Off Juan De Fuca. Portland. 1968. 240p. This famed lighthouse author’s early work spans 100 years of Pacific Coast disasters. In fire and fog, in the merciless fury of winter gales, a world of ships bowed to a watery destiny. From passenger liners and cargo vessels, schooners under steam and sail, stern and side-wheelers, tankers, tenders and more, this noted author has brought to life the action and records of their battles against the sea. James Gibbs has written numerous titles on the subject over the years and is well known as one of the best informed and most readable shipwreck and lighthouse authors to date. Illustrated with vintage photographs and filled with information. An important early title, most interesting reading and now quite difficult to find. Near fine. (VG+). $26.
