Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed overview of the currents, winds, and routes across the Atlantic Ocean. Originally a translation of a French work itÂwas published in the United States in 1887. The author's intention was to help mariners navigate this vast body of water safely and efficiently. A large part of the text is dedicated to a discussion of the prevailing wind patterns of the North and South Atlantic. Sailors are advised to take into careful consideration the routes by which they intend to sail and the times of year in which they do so as the conditions can affect the length of the journey. There are tables in the book that summarize the percentage of calms, the direction of winds, and the location of icebergs by region and month. These allow the mariner to plan voyages to optimize their chances of fast travel and safety. The book reflects the state of the knowledge of sailing in the mid-19th century.
