The Cruise Of The Marchesa To Kamschatka And New Guinea

""The Cruise of the Marchesa to Kamschatka and New Guinea"" is a travelogue written by Francis Henry Hill Guillemard, first published in 1889. The book chronicles Guillemard's journey aboard the yacht Marchesa, which set sail from England in 1887 and traveled through the Pacific Ocean to Kamschatka and New Guinea, with stops in Formosa, Liu-Kiu, and various islands of the Malay Archipelago. Guillemard provides vivid descriptions of the people, customs, and natural landscapes he encounters on his journey, as well as his impressions of the colonial powers and their impact on the regions he visits. He also includes detailed accounts of the flora and fauna he observes, and scientific observations on the geology and climate of the areas he explores. ""The Cruise of the Marchesa"" is an engaging and informative travelogue that provides a unique glimpse into the Pacific world of the late 19th century, and the attitudes and perspectives of a British explorer and naturalist of the time.With Maps And Numerous Woodcuts Drawn By J.
