Seller's Description:
Fair. VOLUME I ONLY. 357, [5] pages. Errata, Volume I. Ex-institutional library. Few library markings. Cover, especially spine, worn. Front flyleaf appears missing. Some hinge weakness detected. Some page discoloration and foxing. USS Vincennes (1826) was a 703-ton Boston-class sloop of war in the United States Navy from 1826 to 1865. During her service, Vincennes patrolled the Pacific, explored the Antarctic, and blockaded the Confederate Gulf coast in the Civil War. Named for the Revolutionary War Battle of Vincennes, she was the first U.S. warship to circumnavigate the globe. The ship set sail for the first time on 3 September 1826, from New York bound for the Pacific by way of Cape Horn. She cruised extensively in that ocean, visiting the Hawaiian islands in 1829 and made her way to Macau by 1830, under Commander William B. Finch. Her return voyage was made by way of China, the Philippines, the Indian Ocean, and the Cape of Good Hope. Ship chaplain Charles Samuel Stewart published a book about the voyage. After nearly four years, Vincennes arrived back in New York on 8 June 1830, becoming the first U.S. Navy ship to circumnavigate the Earth. Two days later the ship was decommissioned. This work was Dedicated by Chaplain Stewart to Captain William Finch, U.S. Navy, who commanded the Vincennes during this first circumnavigation of the world by an American warship. Stewart was a Navy chaplain and writer who became a missionary. As part of his travels, he kept extensive journals and turned those into books as a means of supplementing his income. Charles S. Stewart graduated from Princeton College in 1815 and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1821. Rev. Charles S. Stewart and his wife, who were married on June 22, 1822, were sent out by the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions, departing in November 1822, along with black missionary and companion Betsey Stockton. Working at the mission at Lahaina on Maui, the Stewarts served until 1825, when they returned to the U.S. because of Mrs. Stewart's health. A Presbyterian, Reverend Stewart became a chaplain in the United States Navy and left from Chesapeake on February 13, 1829, on the frigate Guerriere which was to relieve the Vincennes at the Pacific station. In 1835, he married his second wife, Sarah A. Skillman. Rev. Stewart also was the author of several books on travel.
