Jeremiah Milbank and Others
Privately Printed | 1937 | Hardcover
Limited Edition: Copy No. 22 of Only 50 Printed
An exceptionally scarce privately printed yachting narrative chronicling a summer voyage aboard the Estonian-built ketch Ahto. Written collectively by the eleven teenage crew members and illustrated with their own photographs, the book follows their journey from Port Chester, New York, through the Cape Cod Canal and the waters of coastal New England to Prince Edward Island before returning home.
Issued in an edition of just 50 copies, this example is No. 22. The voyage was captained by Ahto Valter, the renowned Estonian sailor who would later become the first person to circumnavigate the globe under the Estonian flag. Equal parts maritime history, travel narrative, and firsthand adventure, this rare volume offers a remarkable glimpse into the golden age of cruising and is a highly desirable piece for collectors of nautical history, New England travel, and limited edition books.
