To Norway and the North Cape in 'Blue Dragon II' 1911-1912 - 1913
London: Sidwick & Jackson, 1913 [first edition]
First edition of a richly-illustrated account of a legandary cruise
8vo (25×17.5 cm); xxiv, 231, [1] p. Illustrated with sixteen colour plates, 48 b&w photographic plates, 6 maps (including very large folding map in the back) and numerous illustrations in the text, collated and complete. Bound in original blue cloth, spine and upper cover lettered and decorated in gilt, circular photographic view pasted to upper cover.
Condition: Very good with light stains on boards, some shelfwear, pages bright and clean, complete with all iluustrations and maps.
The author describes cruising in Norwegian waters on his voyage to the Artic Circle in this entertaining volume. A sailing and cruising enthusiast, the yachtsman was appointed headmaster of Oxford Preparatory School in 1886, and often invited friends and the 'Dragon' School's staff members to accompany him in yachting. As a yachtsman Lynam had a touch of genius. His cruises in the Blue Dragon I,II, and III up the west coast of Scotland and across the North Sea to Norway and the North Cape became legendary. In recognition of the latter, a distance of 1387 miles, he was awarded the challenge cup of the Royal Cruising Club’. [ODNB]
