Synopsis

This book is a detailed guide to sailing around the Channel Islands, with authentic anecdotes, historical details, information on tidal streams, and much more. With a wealth of useful information for the sailor, this volume is highly recommended for anyone wishing to traverse the Channel Islands by boat, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "General Remarks on the Appearance of the Island of Guernsey and Jersey, as seen from the Westward; Reflection", "Prevailing Winds among the Channel Islands; Surroundings", "Tidal Stream in the Offing; Caution", "Guernsey Island; St. Peter Port; Supplies", "Herm and Jethon Islands", "The Amfroques and other Rocks off Them", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing "The Channel Islands Pilot" now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on building boats. This book was first published in 1844.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."  Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.

There are now 65,000  titles available  (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as  Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.

Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.
