Sobre este artículo
London: Thomas Baskett, 1750. Very good.. Folio, pp. [661]-672 pp. including armorial title; stitch-sewn, evidence of having been disbound at some time.
An interesting 1750 Act of Parliament relating to the port of Whitby, just as it was on the cusp of becoming one of the great shipbuilding ports, where famous Australian and Pacific vessels including Cook's Endeavour and First Fleet ships the Golden Grove and the Fishburn were constructed. This Act was instrumental in the repairing of the harbour at Whitby, and instituted a series of works which were paid for by the bustling coal trade. The harbour's central importance to Cook's career in particular is well known, as it was while working out of Whitby that the great mariner established his credentials and also became enamoured of the sea-going properties of Whitby colliers.
