"Brethren of the Coast: Buccaneers of the South Seas" appears to be referencing a specific work, likely a book, about the Brethren of the Coast and their activities in the Pacific Ocean (also known as the "South Seas"). The title suggests a focus on the English and French buccaneers who operated in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, including those who crossed the Isthmus of Darien to attack Spanish ports on the Pacific coast. Here is more information on the history and legacy of these buccaneers. Historical context Brethren of the Coast: While the Brethren of the Coast primarily operated in the Caribbean, they also launched attacks against Spanish targets in the Pacific Ocean. Some of their leaders, like Henry Morgan, are famously associated with the Caribbean, but the Brethren's ventures extended to the Pacific seaboard of South America. Expansion to the Pacific: European rivals of Spain, including the English, French, and Dutch, encouraged privateers and buccaneers to attack Spanish possessions in the New World. This included venturing into the Pacific, which Spain had historically controlled as a "Spanish lake". Key figures: The expeditions into the Pacific included notable figures such as Francis Drake, English privateers, and later buccaneers like William Dampier. They would cross overland through the jungles of Central America or navigate around Cape Horn to reach the Pacific. Notable documents: The buccaneers' voyages generated valuable information for European powers. Basil Ringrose, a buccaneer, wrote a detailed pilot book called the South Sea Waggoner around 1682, which described the Pacific coasts and contained the earliest English descriptions of the coast of California. Legacy and decline Decline of buccaneering: As European powers invested more in the defense of their colonies, and as colonial authorities sought more control, the era of officially-sanctioned buccaneering began to decline in the late 17th century. Many buccaneers turned to outright piracy, preying on ships of all nations. End of the "Spanish Lake": By the end of the 18th century, with the expansion of European knowledge and the end of Spain's exclusive claim to the Pacific, the era of buccaneering in the South Seas had ended.…

Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), 232 pp. Very Good, with neat former-owner bookplate; in a Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: From its first tentative beginnings forty years ago, the Fleet Air Arm has grown in importance unti now it has become the dominating factor in naval warfare. During the war years of 1914 - 1918, it was a virile infant of infintine promise; the next twenty years saw it grow in strength and stamina, so that when, in 1939, it again took the air in anger, it did so as a mature and immensely powerful weapon capable of playing a vital and decisive part in victory at sea. This is the story of the Fleet Air Arm from its earliest days to the 1914 raids on the Zeppelin sheds at Friedrichshaven (when a 25-lb. bomb was a big one); to the first aerial torpedo attacks on shipping in the Sea of Marmora; to the epic battles of the last war -- the raid on the Italian fleet at Taranto, the crippling of the German battleship Bismarck, the Ruissian and Malta convoys and the non-stop attacks on Japanese outposts in the Pacific. It is a record of epic achievement, revealing the rise of naval aviation as one of the milestones of British sea history, the latest chacpter in the naval story that began some five hundred years ago. Fully authentic, this new book by the Admiralty Archivist is of value not only as an important contribution to to contemporary naval history, but as a dramatic narrative in which courage and indomitable determination are the keynote qualities.
