Omschrijving
""Voyage Of His Majesty�������s Alceste, To China, Corea, And The Island Of Lewchew: With An Account Of Her Shipwreck"" is a historical book written by John McLeod in 1820. The book details the voyage of the British vessel, His Majesty's Alceste, which was sent to China in 1816. The Alceste was tasked with establishing trade relations with China and exploring the waters around the Korean Peninsula and the Ryukyu Islands (now known as Okinawa). The book provides a detailed account of the Alceste's journey, including descriptions of the various ports of call, interactions with local authorities, and the challenges of navigating unfamiliar waters. It also includes observations on the customs and traditions of the people encountered during the voyage. However, the book's most significant event occurred when the Alceste was shipwrecked off the coast of Sumatra. McLeod describes the crew's struggles to survive, their interactions with local tribes, and their eventual rescue by other British vessels. Overall, ""Voyage Of His Majesty�������s Alceste, To China, Corea, And The Island Of Lewchew: With An Account Of Her Shipwreck"" provides a fascinating insight into the early days of British exploration and trade in Asia. It is a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the history of maritime exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
