Collated complete. A detailed guide to the navigation of the Suez Canal, an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, which acts as a key trade route between Europe and Asia. With chapters on disturbances of the water, steering, speed, curves, sheers, moorings, passing ships, grounding, and more. Including references in case of emergency. Written by Captain C. H. Lyddon, a pilot with the Suez Canal Company. In the original card wraps. Externally, sound with light wear and sunning to the extremities. The odd small mark to the boards with loss to the head and tail of the spine. The odd small closed tear. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Good.
