First Edition, First Printing. 506 pp. Illustrated with photographs, maps, engravings, and plates; endpaper world maps in brown tone from the 1690 Skelton atlas. A substantial mid-century sea-history classic by Arctic explorer, anthropologist, author, and raconteur Peter Freuchen (1886-1957). Drawing on his lifetime of polar expeditions, ethnographic fieldwork, and marine experience, Freuchen surveys the world's oceans through natural history, exploration, navigation, ship design, marine biology, and the human cultures shaped by the sea. Organized in four major sections: The Shape of the Sea, Life in the Seven Seas, The Sea in Action, and The Ships of the Seven Seas, the book ranges from ancient galley warfare to Polynesian canoes, from deep-sea currents to whaling, piracy, arctic survival, and early oceanographic science. Includes many historical illustrations: 17th-18th century engravings, maps, photographs by Philippe Halsman, and plates such as Paul Gauguin's 'I Raro te Oviri.' Condition (Book): Good.
