The Yachtman and Coaster's Book of Reference is a comprehensive guidebook for sailors and seafarers, originally published in 1878 by William Albert Pratt. The book includes a wealth of information on navigation, seamanship, and the practical aspects of sailing and operating a vessel. It covers topics such as tides, currents, winds, charts, compasses, and the use of instruments like the sextant and chronometer. The book also includes detailed instructions on how to handle different types of vessels, from small yachts to larger coasters and steamships. Additionally, it provides information on the rules of the sea, safety precautions, and emergency procedures. The Yachtman and Coaster's Book of Reference is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in sailing or working on the water, and is a fascinating glimpse into the world of seafaring in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
