Item description from seller

245pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Gray printed wraps. Several small chipped losses to the surface of the spine and to the bottom fore-edge corner of the front wrap. Wraps mildly toned at the edges. Text block cracked at p. 204. Notation in pen on first page. Allan Hancock Pacific Expeditions Volume 13, Number 2. The 1,000-ton vessel Velero III, a floating research lab funded by Los Angeles oil millionaire Angeleno George Allan Hancock (1875-1965), enriched early ocean research tremendously. Hancock acted as captain aboard the research vessel, and the Velero III would undertake yearly months-long scientific expeditions throughout the Pacific Ocean with scientists, geologists, paleontologists and marine biologists from university institutions, the Smithsonian, the Steinhart Aquarium, the San Diego Zoo, and the Bureau of Fisheries.
