Written and compiled by Cadwalader Ringgold, Commander in the United States Navy. The text in this first edition is rich in historical facts that at the time, as well as charts on tides and currents, were a revelation to seafaring captains, looking to navigate the Bay and the Sacramento Delta. The volume measures 11" x 8" and is 44 pages in length. It is in wonderful condition for its age, although a little discolored. -60122
