MARITIME PLACE NAMES Inland Washington Waters is a historical text on Washington state maritime place names. It includes every named island, bay, point, inlet, pass, harbor, channel, strait, canal, passage, peninsula, sound, canal, shoal and rock identified on current nautical charts. Variants and more obscure local names are frequently included as well as historical names that did not stand the test of time. The manuscript generally identifies the individual who named the place, when, why and for whom. It also identifies the chart where the name first appeared and the early settlement history of each place.
Heavily annotated, the manuscript makes extensive use of quotes of the observations from our earliest explorers to document their reasons for various names and to provide readers an impression of what Puget Sound country looked like 150-200 years ago. The text includes 100 pictures around our waters and 35 historical nautical charts. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
