First Edition. cloth, gilt spine, xi, 260 pages. illustrated, maps, pict. endpapers, .a popular account of Canada's forgotten sailors- the fighting men who served in light costal forces during the Second World War. Size: 8 vo,.., Random House of Canada Ltd, 1991, 5, Tight, clean, and unmarked-" When Captain Cook set out to seek a western entrance to the fabled Northwest Passage, his instructions allowed him no more than the briefest contact with the coast of northwest America. The burden of that survey was to fall on George Vancouver, one of his midshipmen. Vancouver was sent with two ships to explore the coast and to claim land for Britain. His remarkably accurate survey of the coast was to set a standard that lasted over a century, and he returned with new lands discovered and the sovereignty of Hawaii in his pocket. He returned to a land at war and was soon forgotten in all but his native Kings Lynn. But his name has been immortalized on shores far from home. About the Author: E.C. Coleman was born in 1943 and entered the Royal Navy as a Junior 2nd Class. Thirty-six years later, having seen the world from the decks of aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, he retired. During the 1990s he mounted three arctic expeditions in search of evidence of the fate of Franklin and his 1848 expedition to find the Northwest Passage.", Tempus, 2006, 3<
