Down Channel is a travelogue written by Richard Turrell McMullen, detailing his journey from London to the Land's End and the Scilly Islands in two different boats - the Leo, which weighed three tons, and the Orion, which weighed sixteen tons. The book was published in 1869 and is a record of McMullen's travels as a member of the Royal Thames Yacht Club. The book provides a fascinating insight into the challenges of sailing in the 19th century, including navigation, weather conditions, and the dangers of the sea. McMullen's vivid descriptions of the landscape and people he encountered along the way make for an engaging read for anyone interested in travel writing or maritime history. Overall, Down Channel is a charming and informative account of a journey through some of England's most beautiful coastal regions, told from the perspective of an experienced sailor and keen observer of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
