Magoun, F. Alexander The Frigate 'Constitution' and Other Historic Ships
Salem: Marine Research Society, 1928. First edition (xvii, 155, index, list of pub’s.). Folio, in plain black cloth. Frontispiece, photo of ‘Constitution’ c. 1910. Plates and detailed plans of sails, rigging, decks and furniture, gun ports, etc., as found on a viking ship, the ‘Santa Maria’, the ‘Mayflower’, the ‘Constituition’, the ‘Flying Cloud’, and the ‘Bluenose’ prepared by Magoun of the department of Naval Architecture at MIT, with details also of 17th century English and Dutch merchant vessels. All together, thirty fine b&w photo plates and sixteen measured plans (double-page, folding). Principal emphasis is the ‘Constitution’ which the U.S. Navy had at the time set about restoring. Magoun notes the objections of some of his colleagues to the inclusion of the Canadian fishing schooner ‘Bluenose’ as somehow ‘unpatriotic’ and remarks, not entirely persuasively, that one fishing boat is like every other (Canadians, at least, will know better than that). Covers rubbed and faded, clean and tight text block and illustrations. A very good copy in a very plain wrapper of a classic work for naval architects and model builders alike.
