Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book translates the journal of Commodore Vries, a Dutch navigator who charted the East and North coasts of Japan in 1643. These are the first European accounts of this little-known territory and provide vital information for understanding the history of Japanese exploration. The author uses Vries's observations, combined with modern knowledge, to create a comprehensive maritime guide for the East coast of Japan, from Cape Sirofama to the North point and to the islands of Jezo, Karafto and the Kurils. By discussing the challenges of sailing the Japanese stream and highlighting the importance of landmarks and depth soundings, the guide will be an invaluable resource for modern mariners.
