1970 Journal Of A Cruise Of The US Schooner Dolphin Maritime History Book

Journal Of A Cruise Of The United States Schooner Dolphin
By Lieut. Hiram Paulding
Published by University Of Hawaii Press: Honolulu 1970
Facsimile Reprint Of The Original 1831 Edition

" A fascinating facsimile reprint of one of the more unusual early nineteenth-century Pacific voyage narratives, Journal Of A Cruise Of The United States Schooner Dolphin records the 1825-1826 voyage of the U.S. schooner Dolphin through the islands of the Pacific Ocean in pursuit of the mutineers from the whale ship Globe. Written by Lieutenant Hiram Paulding of the U.S. Navy, the work combines maritime adventure, naval history, whaling lore, Pacific exploration, and firsthand ethnographic observations from the early era of American expansion into the Pacific. This 1970 University of Hawaii Press edition faithfully reproduces the scarce original 1831 New York publication and includes the folding map present within the volume.

The narrative is especially notable for its detailed account of the notorious Globe mutiny, one of the bloodiest episodes in early American whaling history, together with descriptions of the Mulgrave (Marshall) Islands, Hawaiian Islands, and encounters with Pacific Island communities during a formative period of Western contact. Paulding's observations provide valuable insight into early nineteenth-century naval operations and Pacific exploration, while the scholarly introduction by A. Grove Day places the voyage within the broader context of maritime and Pacific history. The facsimile format preserves the typography and appearance of the original edition, making this an appealing research and reference copy for collectors and historians alike.

Presented in clean condition with original dustjacket, this University of Hawaii Press reprint remains a desirable edition for collectors of Pacific exploration, naval history, whaling narratives, and Hawaiian or Polynesian studies. The inclusion of the foldout map further enhances its appeal, while the connection to the infamous Globe mutiny gives the work enduring historical interest. A highly collectible and engaging maritime title that would appeal to admirers of Pacific exploration, naval voyages, whaling history, and early American travel literature."
