Directory for the Navigation of the Pacific Ocean, with Descriptions of its Coasts, Islands, etc. - Findlay, A. G.

First published in 1851, this two-volume work was compiled from several hundred sources by English geographer and hydrographer Alexander Findlay (1812-75). Including detailed sailing instructions and descriptions of the coastlines and islands of the Pacific, this comprehensive nautical directory constituted an invaluable resource for nineteenth-century seafarers.
